In this, the second volume of Douglas DC-3 Survivors, Arthur Pearcy, the acknowledged expert on the DC-3, continues the story of the survivors of the world's most famous airliner and deals principally with the aircraft built in Douglas' factory of Oaklahoma. More than half - a total of 5381 military and 28 civil aircraft - were built at Oaklahoma out of the total DC-3 production of 10,651 aircraft. The last DC-3 was delivered in May 1946, but there are no records available as to just how many were built under license in Japan and Russia.
Today more than 1200 of these aircraft are still flying, not only a testimony to the strength and ruggedness of the original design but also to its versatility and the very simple fact that more than 50 years after its first flight there are still operational roles that no other aircraft can fulfill as efficiently as a DC-3.
Superbly illustrated with 233 photographs, this book describes more than 370 aircraft whether flying in airline or military service, on display in museums or standing derelict on airfields round the world.
