Photo gallery on a Douglas C-47 Skytrain, Douglas C-47 Skytrain is the official designation given by the United States Army Air Force to one of the military versions of the DC-3. It was the most built model. A versatile, robust and easy-to-maintain transport aircraft, it was used on all fronts during the Second World War. Baptized Dakota by the Royal Air Force, which had used DC-3s before the first U.S. military orders, it was affectionately known as Gooney Bird by its American crews. The C-47 was built in two specially designed plants for production, in Long Beach, California, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with the production line indicated in the full designation of the aircraft by the letters 'DL' (Long Beach) and 'DK' (Oklahoma City).
