SMALLWORLD DOUGLAS
DC-3
The Douglas DC-3 is a fixed-wing,
propeller-driven aircraft which revolutionised air transport
in the 1930s and 1940s, and is generally regarded as
one of the most significant transport aircraft ever
made. The plane was the result of a marathon phone call
from American Airlines CEO C.R. Smith demanding improvements
in the design of the DC-2. The amenities of the DC-3
(including sleeping berths on early models and an in-flight
kitchen) popularised air travel in the United States.
With just one refuelling stop, transcontinental flights
across America became possible. Before the DC-3, such
a trip would entail short hops in commuter aircraft
during the day coupled with train travel overnight.
