In Douglas DC-3: 90 Glorious Years, Geoff Jones explores the rich history of the DC-3 from its beginnings in Southern California, its participation in military operations such as the D-Day Normandy Landings, to its use as a commercial aircraft by airliners and freight companies across the world.
Even today, numerous enthusiast organisations continue to keep DC-3s airworthy and fly them for their members. Due to the unavailability of spare parts and the scarcity of expensive avgas fuel, the days of DC-3 commercial operations are now nearing an end, and yet the legacy of the DC-3 has endured.
The Airbus and Boeing operators of today have the DC-3 operations of the previous century to thank for their current success.
