Interesting to compare the top two photos showing (above) what the aircraft would have looked like in its original C-119B configuration and (below) after conversion around 1955/56 to a C-119C (ventral fins added, tailplane extensions removed).

Yes, you're right, I always get those mixed up. :O

In my defence, Wikipedia got it wrong, too (now fixed).
