C-47/DC-3 Dakota/Skytrain - one of the most famous aircraft in the history of aviation, created by the Douglas manufacturing company in 1935. In due course the plane distinguished itself from all other types as an advanced design which became a future classic. It was built in large quantities not only for civil, but also for military needs. During World War II it was transferred to the USSR and Great Britain under Lend-Lease. After the war a large number was sold to third world countries where their service continued for several decades.
