C-47 Skytrain/C-53 Skytrooper
The Douglas DC-3 has
a long history of service in both the airline and cargo
industry and in the militaries of the world. "What's Up Doc"
was made during WWII and served in Europe with the American
forces before going to France and Belgium. It was sold to
Israel in the late 1940s, who flew it in military service
until 2000. That's almost 60 years of continuous military
service. The C-53 Skytrooper "D-Day Doll" is a veteran of
D-Day, and was used to drop paratroopers from today's
military.
