Overview
A comprehensive history of the Douglas DC—3, exploring its military, commercial, and enduring global legacy. The Douglas DC—3 is as iconic an aircraft design as the Mustang or Spitfire. It has endured more than any other, with a few hundred examples still in use across the world. Many fledgling US airlines blossomed due to their DC—3s, and almost every major post—war airline started running their schedules with the type, taking advantage of the surplus in military DC—3s (C—47s) after the Second World War. In Douglas DC—3: 90 Glorious Years, Geoff Jones explores the rich history of the aircraft from its beginnings in Southern California in the 1930s, to its participation in military operations such as the D—Day Normandy Landings, through to its use as a commercial aircraft into the twenty—first century. The Airbus and Boeing operators of today have their DC—3 operations to thank for their current success, and numerous enthusiast organisations continue to keep DC—3s airworthy and fly them for their members. Ninety years on, the legacy of this extraordinary aircraft is as strong as ever.
