The Douglas C-47 Skytrain (aerial train) also called Dakota (DACoTA; or Douglas Aircraft Company Transport Aircraft) is one of the most popular transport aircraft of World War II. Produced by the USA; it was also used by armies of other Allied countries. It was based on the design of the civilian version of the Douglas DC-3. It performed in principle on all fronts of World War II and was operated long after it ended. It served; among other things; for the landing of paratroopers and towing gliders; as well as transporting supplies; ammunition and evacuating the wounded.
In the early stages of the blockade of West Berlin (1948–1949); the burden of maintaining the air transportation rested on the Douglas C-47 Skytrain (Dakota). Later; it was gradually replenished and replaced by the Douglas C-54 Skymaster and Avro York machines and British flying boats Short Sunderland.
