DC-2: Some teaser shots!

[AussieMan]

Carefull guys, very stupid question incomiing:
What is the difference between a DC-2 and a DC-3 ?
Sorry my knowledge is quite limited and until now I knew only about the DC-3. This DC-2 looks so similar. Is the DC-3 simply an evolution of the DC-2 ? (like, more powerfull, or anything else ?)

Daube, no such thing as a stupid question.

The DC-2 was the forerunner of the DC-3. It was smaller, less powerful and carried less passengers than the DC-3.

Hi Daube,

Some more differences:
DC2: two rows of 7 seats, DC3: 3 rows of 7 seats
DC2: fuselage with straight sides, DC3: round fuselage
Center section is indentical (you can even bolt a DC2 wing to a DC3: cool story here: http://www.cnac.org/aircraft02.htm)
DC3: bigger wingspan
DC3: improved tail section. The DC2 had quite bad lateral behaviour, but during time the tail was improved, untill it reached it's final form in the DC3.
In it's day, the DC2 was a very revolutionary airplane, hence my motto:
No DC3 without the DC2:ernae:
