Flying Tiger Line Douglas C-47 NC59699. C-47 Flying Tiger relied heavily on the Douglas C-47, the cargo version of the famed DC-3. The C-47 could fly 7,500 pounds of cargo over a range of 600 miles at 150 miles per hour. NC59699 was an ex C-47A-20-DK, USAAF serial 42-93178 it became a civlian aircraft in 1946. When sold by Tigers it went to India as VT-CTZ. My repaint is a close representaion of one of the first aircraft in 1946. There are only two known pictures of the actual aircraft. Thanks to Manfred Jahn for his great model!
