Douglas DC-3 and C-47 in Latin American Military Service

This book examines in detail one aspect of the DC-3/C-47 history which is not that well known, the fact that DC-3s and their military equivalents and derivatives have been in continuous service in that geographically diverse region of the world known as Latin America for more than 75 years, longer than anywhere else in the world.

The DC-3 and C-47 came upon the scene at precisely the right moment in every nation. They were in use from the Rio Grande south all the way to Antarctica and from the remote Galapagos in the Pacific to the Antilles chain in the Caribbean.
As always, they were used as workhorses and heavy-lifters, but a significant number, surprisingly, saw combat service in a number of most exotic circumstances, both as ad hoc bombers and combat aircraft.
C-47s were not only the most numerous type in some national inventories, but often the most heavily utilised and valued.

Richly illustrated, with tables describing the often extraordinary individual services lives of each-and-every known aircraft, this is a testament to the men and women who, for three-quarters of a century, have sweated, cursed and yet loved these magnificent aircraft.

C-47 Skytrain - The 'Gooney Bird' from Douglas (Legends of Warfare)

NOUVEAU

Le Douglas C-47 Skytrain et son homologue, le C-53 Skytrooper, étaient essentiels au transport aérien américain pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Ces avions transportaient non seulement du fret, mais aussi des parachutistes, notamment lors du débarquement en Normandie. Ils remorquaient également des planeurs et avaient la capacité remarquable de les arracher du sol en vol.
Basé sur le Douglas DC-3, le C-47 a servi dans les forces américaines et alliées en Corée et au Vietnam, notamment dans l'hélicoptère de combat AC-47D lourdement armé. Ce volume couvre le développement de l'avion, son utilisation militaire et les détails de sa construction.
