HISTORY ASPECTS:The C-47 Skytrain developed from the Douglas DC-3 which was designed for commercial passenger service in the early 1930s. Entering service in 1935 the DC-3 was quickly adapted for military transport service and designated as the C-47 Skytrain. World War II saw high demand for the reliable C-47 with over 10000 produced. The C-47s played a key role on D-Day dropping over 50000 paratroopers during the Allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord June of 1944."Tico Belle" flew with the 82nd Airborne Division out of Ramsbury on D-day and survived to serve additional missions for the liberation of Europe. It was restored in flying condition on July 2009 and is the flagship aircraft of the Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum in Titusville FL.
