Synopsis
"With more than 16,000 built, the DC-3 became the world's most successful aircraft. The military version of the DC-3 became a legendary aircraft in both World War I and World War II, and a crucial factor in the Allies' victories. The DC-3 is the only aircraft in the world that can be fully rejuvenated after 80 years of service and then continue to fly for another 50 years or more." [Amazon Prime Video] "The DC-3 had many exceptional qualities compared to previous aircraft. It was fast, had a good range, was more reliable, and carried passengers in greater comfort. Before the war, it pioneered many air travel routes. It was able to cross the continental US from New York to Los Angeles in 18 hours and with only 3 stops. It is one of the first airliners that could profitably carry only passengers without relying on mail subsidies.[" [Wikipedia]
