The Douglas C-47 Skytrain or Dakota (RAF, RAAF, RCAF, RNZAF, and SAAF designation) is a military transport aircraft developed from the civilian Douglas DC-3 airliner. It was used extensively by the Allies during World War II and remained in front-line service with various military operators for many years.

I used blueprints to recreate this plane as well as I could. And when I made the cockpit, I looked at pictures to make it realistic. Now, controls!

Controls: AG 1 and 2 are Engines. AG 3 is Cargo Doors. VTOL is Flaps. The rest is normal. For cockpit layout, see Craft Instructions.
