The 75mm Pack Howitzer could be taken apart to be loaded on the C-47.
6 parapacks were loaded under the C-47, a Door load for the Wheels, and a padded box held the Gun sight and the Breech Block.
The Equipment Chute was loaded into the Pod in front of the aircraft.
If you found all the pieces of the Gun you would assemble them.
In this Picture the Recoil system is installed, the Breech Block is in and the rear Trail is attached. The Tube or Barrel has to
be added and Top Sleigh would be on top.
If no jeep or other tow method was available after assembling the gun, it had to be moved by hand. (In Sicily for example,
no jeeps were dropped.)
