The Douglas C-47 Skytrain or Dakota is a military transport aircraft developed during 1940s. The Douglas Skytrain is without doubt one of the most famous and most successful designs of aircraft in history. It was originally known as the Douglas Sleeper Transport and has been known as DC-3 in civilian versions. Years after the design's first flight on 17th December 1935 the aircraft is still in service throughout the world. It is a design which has truly changed history.
The C-47 has a basic appearance, a twin-engined low-wing monoplane with retractable landing gear, tubular fuselage, and single vertical tail surface. The pilot and co-pilot sat at the extreme front of the fuselage with an observation blister directly behind the cockpit. Entry-exit doors were situated at the forward and aft sides of the fuselage for loading troops and exiting paratroopers.
