    Douglas C-47 Skytrain

    The Douglas C-47 Skytrain or Dakota (RAF designation) is a military transport aircraft developed from the civilian Douglas DC-3 airliner. It was used extensively by the Allies during World War II and remains in front line service with various military operators to the present day.

    Design and development

    The C-47 differed from the civilian DC-3 in numerous modifications, including being fitted with a cargo door and strengthened floor, along with a shortened tail cone for glider-towing shackles, and an astrodome in the cabin roof.

    During World War II, the armed forces of many countries used the C-47 and modified DC-3s for the transport of troops, cargo, and wounded. The U.S. Naval designation was R4D. More than 10,000 aircraft were produced in Long Beach and Santa Monica, California and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Between March 1943 and August 1945 the Oklahoma City plant produced 5,354 C-47s.

    Operational history

    World War II

    The C-47 was vital to the success of many Allied campaigns, in particular those at Guadalcanal and in the jungles of New Guinea and Burma, where the C-47 (and its naval version, the R4D) made it possible for Allied troops to counter the mobility of the light-traveling Japanese army. Additionally, C-47s were used to airlift supplies to the embattled American forces during the Battle of Bastogne. Possibly its most influential role in military aviation, however, was flying "The Hump" from India into China. The expertise gained flying "The Hump" was later be used in the Berlin Airlift, in which the C-47 played a major role, until the aircraft were replaced by Douglas C-54 Skymasters.

    Air force

    An air force, also known in some countries as an air army, is in the broadest sense, the national military organization that primarily conducts aerial warfare. More specifically, it is the branch of a nation's armed services that is responsible for aerial warfare as distinct from an army, navy, or a marine corps. Typically, air forces are responsible for gaining control of the air, carrying out strategic and tactical bombing missions, and providing support to land and naval forces.

    The term "air force" may also refer to a tactical air force or numbered air force, which is an operational formation either within a national air force or comprising several air components from allied nations. Air forces typically consist of a combination of fighters, bombers, helicopters, transport planes and other aircraft.

    Many air forces are also responsible for operations of the military space, intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM), and communications equipment. Some air forces may command and control other air defence assets such as anti-aircraft artillery, surface-to-air missiles, or anti-ballistic missile warning networks and defensive systems. Some nations, principally Russia, the former Soviet Union and countries who modelled their militaries along Soviet lines, have an air defence force which is organizationally separate from their air force.

      Here is a World War 2 era Douglas C-47 Skytrain flying at Air Show San Diego in El Cajon on Sunday, June 8, 2014. The old bird put on a good display during the air show. Sorry for the out of focus part on the first pass...I'm getting used to using the autofocus on my 70D. Apparently it isn't good enough to track fast moving objects in front of a contrast-free sky. So I guess I still need to manually focus or at least lock the focus during certain situations.

This C-47 Dakota was manufactured in the USA by Douglas in March 1942 and initially issued to the United States Army Air Force. In September that year the aircraft was transferred to the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and served in Canada during World War Two. It was subsequently deployed to Europe with the RCAF until declared surplus to requirements by the Canadians in 1971. Dakota dropping SEAT packs at RIAT 2004 The Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) at Farnborough then purchased the aircraft, which was allocated the UK military serial number KG661, as it had carried the serial '661' with the Canadians. During her time with the RAE, the Dakota was used for a variety of tasks and trials, including dropping sonabuoys through holes cut in the fuselage and for launching remotely piloted vehicles. Cleared for dropping paratroops, she often displayed in this role and occasionally appeared in the static park at air shows. For some time, however, there had been doubt about the allocated serial number. Research showed that the serial 'KG661' had previously belonged to a Dakota that had been destroyed in an accident. So the serial number was changed to a new one - ZA947. In 1992 the Defence Research Agency, the successor to the RAE, declared ZA947 surplus to requirements. The aircraft was adopted by Strike Command and issued to the BBMF in March 1993. In 2004, an original Dakota banked against sunset sky and authentic floor and interior was re-fitted to the Dakota, returning the cabin to the original, wartime specification. As there are now no other multi-engine tail wheel aircraft in RAF service outside the BBMF, the Dakota is an important training asset used for initial training of aircrew for the BBMF multi-engine aircraft and for renewing the currency of the Flight's Lancaster pilots each year. In addition to this role though, the Dakota is a sought-after display aircraft in her own right and, as such, she appears regularly on the air show circuit either on her own or as part of a BBMF formation. She continues to be capable of para-dropping and is used in that role for special commemorative events. During the winter of 2010/11, ZA947 underwent a major servicing conducted by ARCo with sub-contractor Eastern Airways at Humberside Airport. It emerged re-painted as 233 Squadron Dakota III, FZ692, '5T-UK', named 'Kwicherbichen', complete with D-Day stripes. In July 1944, FZ692 "Kwicherbichen" was photographed returning to its base at RAF Blakehill Farm, Wiltshire carrying wounded from the Normandy battlefront.

In Europe, the C-47 and a specialized paratroop variant, the C-53 Skytrooper, were used in vast numbers in the later stages of the war, particularly to tow gliders and drop paratroops. In the Pacific, with careful use of the island landing strips of the Pacific Ocean, C-47s were even used for ferrying soldiers serving in the Pacific theater back to the United States. C-47s (approx. 2,000 received under lend-lease) in British and Commonwealth service took the name Dakota, from the acronym "DACoTA" for Douglas Aircraft Company Transport Aircraft. The C-47 also earned the informal nickname Gooney Bird... The United States Air Force's Strategic Air Command had Skytrains in service from 1946 through 1967... Several C-47 variations were used in the Vietnam War by the United States Air Force, including three advanced electronic warfare variations, which sometimes were called "Electric Gooneys" designated EC-47N, EC-47P, or EC-47Qs depending on the engine used. EC-47s were also operated by the Vietnamese, Laotian and Cambodian Air Forces. A gunship variation, using three 7.62mm miniguns, designated AC-47 "Spooky" often nicknamed "Puff the Magic Dragon" also was deployed. The Royal Canadian Air Force and later, the Canadian Armed Forces employed the C-47... from the 1940s to the 1980s. After World War II thousands of surplus C-47s were converted to civil airline use, some remaining in operation in 2012 as well as being used as private aircraft... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_DC-3 The Douglas DC-3 is an American fixed-wing propeller-driven airliner, the speed and range of which revolutionized air transport in the 1930s and 1940s. Its lasting impact on the airline industry and World War II makes it one of the most significant transport aircraft ever made. The major military version was designated the C-47 Skytrain, of which more than 10,000 were produced. Many DC-3 / C-47s are still used in all parts of the world. The DC-3 was the culmination of a development effort that originated out of an inquiry from Transcontinental and Western Airlines (TWA) to Donald Douglas. TWA's rival in transcontinental air service, United Airlines, was inaugurating service with the Boeing 247 and Boeing refused to sell any 247s to other airlines until United's order for 60 aircraft had been filled. TWA asked Douglas to design and build an aircraft that would enable TWA to compete with United. Douglas' resulting design, the 1933 DC-1, was promising, and led to the DC-2 in 1934. While the DC-2 was a success, there was still room for improvement. ...the prototype DST (for Douglas Sleeper Transport) first flew on December 17, 1935... A version with 21 passenger seats instead of the sleeping berths of the DST was also designed and given the designation DC-3. There was no prototype DC-3, the first DC-3 built followed seven DSTs off the production line and was delivered to American...

    Here is a World War 2 era Douglas C-47 Skytrain flying at Air Show San Diego in El Cajon on Sunday, June 8, 2014. The old bird put on a good display during the air show. Sorry for the out of focus part on the first pass...I'm getting used to using the autofocus on my 70D. Apparently it isn't good enough to track fast moving objects in front of a contrast-free sky. So I guess I still need to manually focus or at least lock the focus during certain situations.

    This is Jim Terry's C-47 (AKA DC-3) taking off and flying in formation with a C-17 Globemaster. ( for those of you who are observant, or truly interested in details, this aircraft is actually a C-49J Troop Transport. It does not, and never did have the large cargo door, as it was ordered as a DC-3 by TWA in 1941 just before the war.)

      All That I Want

      ALL THAT I WANT / C21
      I just need you to know
      That everytime you walk into a room I get a feeling
      And I try to make it show
      But every now and then it seems as though you don't believe it
      Girl just dance
      I like the way you move it
      Just shake, shake, shake into the music
      C'mon and dance
      Don't worry about it
      Don't need to play no games 'cause I love you just the same
      (You turn) me on and on turn me on
      The definition of all that I want
      But you don't seem to hear me at all
      I'm telling you
      Baby you're all that I want
      All that I want
      All that I know
      is your the only one that makes me feel the way you do girl
      And time will show
      That all this jealousy is just a waste of emotion
      Girl just dance
      I like the way you move it
      Just shake, shake, shake into the music
      C'mon and dance
      Don't worry about it
      Don't need to play no games 'cause I love you just the same
      (You turn) me on and on turn me on
      The definition of all that I want
      But you don't seem to hear me at all
      I'm telling you
      Baby you're all that I want
      All that I want
      Just hear me now
      I want you to know
      I'm into you
      And you alone
      Just hear me now
      I want you to know
      I'm into you
      And you alone
      Girl just dance
      I like the way you move it
      Just shake, shake, shake into the music
      C'mon and dance
      Don't worry about it
      Don't need to play no games 'cause I love you just the same
      (You turn) me on and on turn me on
      The definition of all that I want
      But you don't seem to hear me at all

      But you don't seem to hear me at all
      I'm telling you
      Baby you're all that I want
      You're turning me on girl
      C'mon and just dance girl
      You're making me sweat girl
