Synopses & Reviews
Built in huge numbers (10,655 in the USA and 2000 under license in the USSR as Li-2s), the DC-3 Dakota revolutionized air transport first in the USA, and then the world. Included in this highly illustrative tome are photographs all the major prototype, pre-production and civil and military service variants under construction at the Douglas plant in California, as well as in service with various operators, and air arms, across the globe. Period color is also included within this volume, featuring aircraft and company/airline advertisements to give a contemporary feel to the book.
