Notes:

The Douglas C-47 Skytrain, also called 'Dakota' by RAF was a military transport based on the civilian Douglas DC-3 airliner. It was mainly used for the transport of troops and cargo. More than 10000 of them were built and some still continue to be used today in South America and Africa. The C-47 on display was delivered to the USAAF on May 29th 1944, and served in the 7th Air Force in Manila. It was then transferred to the 20th Air Force, 7th Fighter Command based at Northwest Field, Guam. It is painted in D-Day military transport colors.
