Douglass DC-3
With the benefit of hindsight, the DC-3 can be considered one of the first aircraft to have a significant impact on the aviation scene. In this case, a freight or transport plane went above and beyond the call of duty. Depending on the cargo, it has the capability of transporting up to 6,000 pounds or 21 to 32 persons. It also has a range of 1,500 miles, which was once thought to be impossible before it was confirmed to be achievable through testing. Despite the fact that it was no longer manufactured after 1942, there are still at least a few hundred of them in existence that are still in use. Douglas produced high-quality machinery, as proven by the long service lives of their machines. It was later shrunk for military applications and eventually ended up being used as a special transportation plane. The Secretary of War used the C-41 variant on a number of occasions throughout his tenure as Secretary of War. Recently, the average price of a unit was roughly $250,000, according to recent auction results.
