Corgi 1:72 Douglas C-47 Diecast Model Airplane AA38209 There are few aircraft in the history of aviation that can boast the importance & reputation enjoyed by that of the Douglas DC-3/C-47™ series. This revolutionary aircraft was responsible for establishing comfortable & reliable passenger air travel throughout America in the 1930s, as well as attracting significant interest from the US Army. As America watched Europe & the Far East plunged into conflict, they needed an effective aircraft to potentially transport troops into combat areas & resupply their forces wherever they may be operating & a military version of the rugged & reliable DC-3 was the ideal solution. The Douglas C-47 Skytrain™ proved to be one of the most significant aircraft of the Second World War, keeping Allied forces on the move & the enemy on the back foot. In the years following the end of WWII, war weary C-47s were called upon once more, this time in a historic attempt to keep the city of Berlin supplied by air, following the imposition of a Soviet blockade. The ‘ Fassberg Flyer’ was one of the aircraft involved in this operation, flying coal into the former Luftwaffe airfield at Fassberg. The Berlin Airlift is considered as one of the most significant events in the history of aviation. ...

Douglas C-47 Dakota (RAF Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight 2009)

Douglas C-47 Dakota (RAF Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight 2009) (1:72 scale) - Issued to the BBMF in March 1993, the Dakota is a year-round workhorse for the BBMF being used in a variety of roles, including general support tasks, such as transporting ground crew and equipment to display venues or other operating airfields. Importantly, as there are no other multi-engine tailwheel configured aircraft in RAF service outside the BBMF, she is used for training aircraft during the winter months when the bomber is out of action. Increasingly the Dakota has become a display aircraft in her own right and now appears regularly on the airshow circuit either on her own or as part of a BBMF 3-ship formation, in company with a pair of fighters. Dakota ZA947 currently wears the livery of 267
"Pegasus" Squadron, which flew in the Transport, Trooping and Re-supply roles in the Middle East and the Mediterranean Theatres during 1943/44. The squadron employed various colour schemes on its Dakotas but always displayed its "Pegasus" emblem prominently displayed on the aircraft"s nose.
