DOUGLAS DC-3 DAKOTA

(1947-1955)​

The Douglas DC-3 is an American fixed wing, propeller driven aircraft whose speed and range revolutionized air transport in the 1930s and 1940s. Because of its lasting impact on the airliner industry and World War II it is generally regarded as one of the most significant transport aircraft ever made. Many DC-3s are still used to this day in all parts of the world. The aircraft's legendary ruggedness is enshrined in the light hearted description of the DC-3 as "a collection of parts flying in loose formation."


Transferred to Pakistan on formation of the Royal Pakistan Air Force (14 August 1947). Used to start the crucial valley flights; to Pakistani Outposts in Azad Kashmir.32 aircraft were in service; eventually retired in 1955 from Pakistan Air Force service.
