Product Code: A08014
(Pre-Order Due January 2026)
Described by General Eisenhower as one of the four
weapons that helped the Allies to win the Second World War, the Douglas
DC3 and its military variant the C-47 Skytrain (Dakota in RAF service)
has since gone on to be an instantly recognizable symbol of both air
travel and the liberation of occupied lands that so characterized the
Second World War. Continuing to serve even today in both modernized and
original formats the DC3/C-47 is now seen as a pioneer of air travel.
