A C-54 is not a combat aircraft. Seeing "action" implies that you
have done
harm to the enemy. You can't do harm to the enemy in an unarmed
airliner. Flying combat airccraft is one thing, Flying airliners is
something else.


When it comes to doing harm to the enemy, "unarmed airliners"
delivering paratroops isn't so different from bombers delivering
bombs.

As it happens, paratrooping is one thing my cousin did not do.
They did trust him with high value stuff including 3 and 4 star
officers and the CinC Pacific from time to time though.
