Description: Another highlight from our visit to Triple Tree Aerodrome was the Douglas C-47 Skytrain (DC-3) 'Bones'. "The C-47 is the military version of the DC-3, which had revolutionized the world of air transport. The DC-3 had placed the United States in the lead in commercial aviation, a position the nation would retain for the rest of the century, and beyond. The C-47 was just as revolutionary for the military. The C-47 featured strengthened floors, bucket seats, large loading doors, and a pair of sweet-running Pratt & Whitney R-1830 engines of 1,200 horsepower each. When orders overwhelmed the Long Beach facility, a second factory had to be built in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Variants of the basic design were used by all branches of the military and by almost every Allied nation. Even the Luftwaffe flew the doughty Douglas design, using aircraft impressed from airlines of occupied countries." - Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum pearlharboraviationmuseum.org/aircraft/douglas-c-47-skytrain-dc-3a-transport Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more exclusive content and turn on those post notifications so you don't miss an upload.
