Description
This is the tail section of the great Douglass C-47 Skytrain, also named Dakota. Most believe that the C-47 Gooney bird was the most important aircraft of WWll. "Four things won the Second World War - the Bazooka, the Jeep, the Atom bomb and the C-47 Gooney Bird" Gen D.W. Eisenhower
Before World War 2, Douglass created the DC-3 transcontinental airliner, the biggest and most successful in its class. During the war, these DC-3s were converted into C-47s to fulfill the need to transport large numbers of troops to the battle fields.
One of the most beautiful and respected planes of all time.
