История

Douglas C-47 Skytrain был создан на базе гражданского авиалайнера DC-3 и поступил на военную службу в 1941 году. Он быстро стал одним из самых надежных и универсальных двухмоторных транспортных самолетов из когда-либо созданных.

В день высадки в Нормандии в июне 1944 года тысячи самолетов C-47 сбросили десантников союзников за линию фронта. На Тихоокеанском театре военных действий и в Азии они совершали опасные полеты через Гималаи, доставляя помощь китайским войскам, сражавшимся против сил стран «оси».

C-47 летал еще многие десятилетия после войны. Он перевозил продукты во время блокады Берлина в 1948 году, доставлял грузы в ходе Корейской войны и даже использовался как вооруженный самолет огневой поддержки во время войны во Вьетнаме.
