A towering figure in the history of American aviation, the Douglas DC-3 revolutionized air transportation in the 1930s and 1940s. Designed as a commercial airliner, it proved particularly rugged and versatile, leading to a 10,000-unit production run of a variant known as the C-47 Skytrain, an aircraft that dropped more than 50,000 paratroopers on France during the Invasion of Normandy. Incredibly, though it has not been manufactured since 1950, a number of DC-3s are still in use throughout the world.
