The aircraft saw extensive action during the Korean War as a troop and equipment transport. In July 1950, four C-119s were sent to FEAF for service tests. Two months later, the C-119 deployed with the 314th Troop Carrier Group and served in Korea throughout the war.

The C-119 Flying Boxcar was an American military transport aircraft developed from the World War II Fairchild C-82 Packet, designed to carry cargo, personnel, litter patients, and mechanized equipment, and to drop cargo and troops by parachute. It’s made an initial flight in November 1947, and by the time production ceased in 1955, more than 1,100 C-119s had been built. Its cargo-hauling ability and unusual appearance earned it the nickname "Flying Boxcar".

The C- 119 Flying Boxcar was also used by the 456th Troop Carrier Wing which was attached to the Strategic Air Command from April 25, 1955 to May 26, 1956. Other main variants of the Flying Boxcar were the EC-119J which was used for satellite tracking and the YC-119H Skyvan which had larger wings and tail. One of its variants which is still active today is the Jet Pack version which incorporates a 3,400 lbf Westinghouse J34 turbojet in a nacelle above the fuselage.
