Based on the civil DC-3
model which first flew in 1935, the C-47 family
was built in greater
numbers than any piston engined transport before
or since. Over 10,800
of all models were built between 1936 and 1945.
A large number of
designations were applied to military variants
depending on engines,
equipment and role. The most common were
the C-47 cargo transport
and the C-53 dedicated troop transport. The
DC-3 was also manufactured
under licence in the USSR as the Li-2.
War surplus C-47's
formed the backbone of post-WW2 regional civil
aviation services
and large numbers remained in service for many
years. Examples remained
in US military service until well into the
1970's, including
service in Vietnam as a gunship.
This CD set contains
three flight manuals for the Douglas C-47 series.
The CD set has been
