Title: C-47
Post by: scooby on February 12, 2002, 08:31:00 PM

Douglas C-47
  "The Dakota, the C-47, descended from the DC3. ... In 1940 Douglas began turning the C-47 out. It had a strong airframe. It had gun points that you could aim rifles out of the windows. It also had ties to put in paratroops. It had huge cargo doors. The Dakota’s airframe was so strong that it could survive any amount of flack and crashes. And it did." — PETER PIGOTT (Author)

I think that English Duke who died piloting one in Dec., 1944 while dropping supplies for American troops would like to know that it could survive any amount of flak.  His sure didn't.
