C-47 Skytrain: The "Gooney Bird" from Douglas (Legends of Warfare: Aviation, 67) Hardcover – March 28, 2024by David Doyle (Author)The Douglas C-47 Skytrain and its near twin, the C-53 Skytrooper, formed the backbone of American airborne transport during WWII. In addition to hauling cargo, these aircraft also delivered paratroopers to the front, including the Normandy invasion. The aircraft also towed troop-laden gliders during these operations and incredibly could also snatch gliders from the ground while the C-47 was in flight. Derived from the Douglas DC-3, the C-47 saw service with US and Allied militaries in Korea and even Vietnam, including notably the heavily armed AC-47D gunship. This volume explores the development and use of the aircraft, as well as details of its construction.Publisher ‏ : ‎ Schiffer Military History (March 28, 2024)Language ‏ : ‎ EnglishHardcover ‏ : ‎ 144 pagesISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 0764367900ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 9780764367908
