	C-47 Skytrain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Douglas C-47 Skytrain or Dakota was a military transport that was developed from the Douglas DC-3 airliner.
		Douglas C-47 "Skytrains", 12th Air Force Troop Carrier Wing, loaded with paratroopers on their way for the invasion of southern France, 15 August 1944.
		The Dakota I was the C-47, the Dakota II the C-53, the Dakota III the C-47A, and the Dakota IV was the C-47B variant.

	Douglas Dakota Mk II - The Air Combat Wiki
		By modifying the DC-2 design, Douglas was able to produce the Douglas Sleeper Transport, a plane equipped with either fourteen sleeper berths, as the DST, or twenty-eight standard seats as the DC-3.
		Returning to the original civilian design of the Douglas Sleeper Transport, the C-47A could be outfitted with fourteen bunks for use as an aerial ambulance and the cargo area was roomy enough to hold a jeep and a 37mm gun.
		Dakotas were used in Europe for the usual airborne operations as well as for drops of special agents into enemy territory under the auspices of the Special Operations Executive.

	The Douglas C-47 Dakota
		Douglas was scrambling to meet orders for the DC-2 at the time and was reluctant to move off in another direction, but the company took the contract.
		Douglas developed a new version of the DC-2 that had greater wingspan, enlarged tail, longer fuselage, and fuselage width increased by 66 centimeters (26 inches).
		A number of Dakotas were unsurprisingly used as VIP transports, in a few recorded cases transporting the British Royal family, and both General Dwight Eisenhower and British Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery used the Dakota as their personal transport.

	Warbird Alley: Douglas C-47 Skytrain / Dakota
		The Douglas DC-3 was born of the intense competition for modern commercial aircraft that characterized the post-World War I era.
		It was the direct descendant of the DC-1, which first flew in 1933 as Douglas' initial response to a short supply of competitor, Boeing Aircraft's, landmark 10-passenger 247, the first, low-wing, all-metal airliner.
		When, in 1934, American Airlines asked Douglas for a larger version of the DC-2 that would permit sleeping accommodations for transcontinental flights, Douglas responded with the 24 passenger (16 as a "sleeper" craft) DST (Douglas Sleeper Transport), the 24-passenger version of which was designated DC-3.

	Douglas DC-3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Douglas DC-3 is a fixed-wing, propeller-driven aircraft, which revolutionized air transport in the 1930s and 1940s and is generally regarded as one of the most significant transport aircraft ever made (also see Boeing 707 and Boeing 747).
		The plane was the result of a marathon phone call from American Airlines CEO Cyrus Smith to Douglas demanding improvements in the design of the DC-2.
		Douglas had developed an improved version, with a greater cargo capacity and a different wing, which it attempted to sell during this time frame but with all these surplus aircraft, the Super DC-3 did not sell.
