One of only 14 Consolidated Commodore aircraft built. One was bought by the US Navy and designated the XPY-1. It was in service less than 4 years.

Interesting photo of the C-124 and H-19.
It may be of significance. There was a mission in early Korean War to recover a downed Mig-15. A C-124 flew in an H-19 to retrieve the Mig which was disassembled in a hurry using tools and grenades.
