Douglas DC-3 (CC-129 Dakota Mk. IV) RCAF KN269
This variation of the classic RCAF DC-3 livery is based on the Douglas C-47B Dakota 4, registration 1000, No. 412 Squadron, RCAF Air Transport Command from 1953.
607 civil variants of the Douglas Commercial DC-3; and 10,048 military C-47 Skytrain and C-53 Skytrooper variants were built at Santa Monica, California, Long Beach, California, and Oklahoma City. None were built in Canada, but many have been refurbished at a number of Canadian plants including Winnipeg and Montreal. The RAF and the RCAF designated the aircraft as a Dakota.
