| Product Description The Douglas DC-3...certainly the most recognized and celebrated aircraft the world over. This books takes the reader into the more obscure facets of the DC-3 through the long years of its use. Included is the complete history of the DC-3 turbojet and turboprop conversions from early efforts in the late 1940s to the latest Basler product. Also detailed is the reliable service of the DC-3 with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, one of the largest civil users of the DC-3. In mid-1994, a p air of veteran DC-3s made a pilgrimage back to the skies of Normandy to commemorate the D-Day landings of 1944...and the story of that historic sojourn is included here in both words and pictures. A color photo section containing views of many preserved D C-3s from around the world is featured, along with intriguing looks at a number of derelict and forgotten airframes. Also featured: where can you fly a DC-3 today, or where can you just catch a ride on one. Detailed appendices with serial number lists, aircraft histories, etc. A fresh look at the venerable Douglas DC-3. |
