oh, and it was better lookin.  | But it was harder to operate and a mechanical nightmare when compared to a C-47. I know guys who worked on them in Alaska as late as the late 90s. They hated them.

Country:  | I look at what the made (for me that is) the most impact on the war and that would be the C-47. Without it the ground troops would not recieve supplies, parts and food.
C-47 all the way. There is more to a war than slinging bullets.
