Description

A concise illustrated guide to the famous "Gooney Bird," one of the most beloved American aircraft of the Second World War The Douglas C47 Skytrain and its near twin, the C53 Skytrooper, formed the backbone of American airborne transport during WWII. In addition to hauling cargo, these aircraft also delivered paratroopers to the front, including for the Normandy invasion. Derived from the Douglas DC3, the C47 saw service with US and Allied militaries in Korea and even Vietnam, including notably the heavily armed AC47D gunship. This volume explores the development and use of the aircraft, as well as details of its construction. The Skytrain was indispensable to the American war effort more than 10,000 were built and many are still flying today.The planes are also on display at museums on every continent aside from Antarctica, making the plan very relatable and accessible for readers all over the world. Readers will enjoy nearly 300 images of the C47 and its variants, including the C53 and AC47D.
