The Douglas C-47, introduced in 1935, was a military cargo version of the Douglas DC-3 commercial airliner. C-47s were capable of carrying a Jeep among their cargo. This particular C-47 dropped paratroopers at Normandy, France on D-Day. C-47s also dropped supplies to Berlin during the 1946 Berlin Airlift. C-47s went on to serve for many years, and some are still used by private companies and owners throughout the world. This C-47 found its way to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, and was later donated to Evergreen.
