About The DC-3

First released in late 1935, the Douglas DC-3 was a fixed-wing aircraft that used propellers as its source of drive. Capable of hitting 203mph at the time it totally changed the way that people were able to get around the world. from slow and small aircraft that could only take limited numbers of passengers, and at extremely slow paces, the Douglas DC-3 established itself in the pantheon of aircraft on arrival.

Even today, if you look at many of the most popular aircraft brands, they all took inspiration from the incredibly change that the DC-3 brought to the table. In the end, more than 16,000 of the Douglas DC-3 were created and, believe it or not, they are still used today! Many small service carriers still use these reliable old warhorses for their immense versatility and still more than acceptable standard of speed and protection.

However, the Douglas DC-3 has more than enough history to talk about it forever! It was an aircraft that made a huge landmark on both the civil and military worlds. It was a key player in the Second World War, whilst also serving as one of the main forms of US transport in the mid-1930s. it quickly replaced trains as a means of fast travel across the continent, and totally modernized the way that people were able to get from one part of the States to the next without too much effort.

It quickly started being used in the Royal Dutch Airlines services, and used to travel from Amsterdam to Sydney. At the time it was the longest flight in the world by far. The plane continued to set records and change the entire aviation landscape, as it started to be used across man different airlines and really helped to establish the idea that commercial aircraft travel was going to become mainstream.

During the Second World War, more than 10,000 DC-3s were produced to be used as troop transports. It was used to transport cargo regularly, too, making sure that the troops down on the ground were never short of support or supplies when they needed them most. Today, they are still used across the world in some areas and can be seen at airshows on a regular basis too. While many modern variants are out there, they never quite made the same impact on aviation as what the original DC-3 had been able to achieve.
