Historical Note:

Historical:

Douglas C-47 Skytrain 43-48608 c/n 14424/25869 was delivered to the USAAF in 1944 arriving too late for the Normandy Invasion but did make drops at the Battle of the Bulge, Arnhem and the Drop on the Rhine. The term Biscuit Bomber comes from Australian infantry referring to their transports re-supplying using cardboard ice cream containers full of straw and food because of a lack of proper containers. 43-48608 went to the French AF, Belgian AF and Israeli AF and eventually ended at the Estrella Warbird Museum in California.

The Douglas C-47 Skytrain or Dakota (RAF 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 remains in front line service with various military operators.

Douglas C-47 Skytrain at Air Show San Diego 2014 (03:09)

Here is a World War 2 era Douglas C-47 Skytrain flying at Air Show San Diego in El Cajon on Sunday, June 8, 2014. The old bird put on a good display during the air show. Sorry for the out of focus part on the first pass...I'm getting used to using the autofocus on my 70D. Apparently it isn't good enough to track fast moving objects in front of a contrast-free sky. So I guess I still need to manually focus or at least lock the focus during certain situations.
