Must be a British article. We call the C-47 the proper name. Gooney birds.

Dakota, DC3, C47 or Gooney Bird - does not matter. it’s probably the most reliable recip/prop driven aircraft ever produced. Still doing combat service in the late 60’s/early 70’s and likely still running drugs in the 80’s and 90’s.
