4.9/5 (25296 ratings)

Description:Of all the airplanes ever built, the DC-3 has far surpassed the others in faithful service, dependability, and achievement. Born in the days of wooden propellers, it is still flying as the jet age passes and the era of space flight begins. Here, two veteran pilots who have known and flown the DC-3 for most of its - and their - career tell the story of that most fabulous plane - and illustrate their story with photographs that will delight and entertain. Now in it's 4th decade of service, the "Gooney Bird" was the workhorse of the air in World War II, was called up for the Korean War, and is now back in the fight in Vietnam. It has been a transport, bomber, and even a fighter plane--and also, the authors say, a hospital, living quarters, telephone booth, hamburger stand, washing machine, command post, and lover's lane. "The Grand Old Lady has been shot up, shot down, bent almost beyond recognition, but never obliterated," they add. "Pilots swear at her for her slow lumbering speed and her wallowing in thunderstorms, but they pat her fat belly affectionately when she has brought them safely to the ground." THE DC-3 is a peerless book about a peerless airplane. With added material, it replaces the authors' earlier book, Grand Old Lady.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
