Primarily used as troop and cargo transport; also was used to tow gliders and was instrumental in the delivery of CG-4A gliders during the invasion of Normandy. It was copied by the Japanese. After the war, it was used to air-drop much-needed food and medical supplies to civilians all over Europe. It still is in service and used for charter flights and other special missions.
