This is a D-Day veteran that was also active over occupied Germany. It made a forced landing at Eindhoven in the already liberated part of the Netherlands in 1945 and, after the war had ended, remained in the Netherlands to be used by various airliners as PH-DAB. In 1965, the aircraft went to the Indonesian navy, until 1968. In that year it went back to civil aviation as PK-RDA.

This aircraft was operated by the Aviation Militaire Comorienne in the latter half of the 1970s. By 1980, it had moved to South Africa where it was converted to C-47TP and taken up the South African Air Force as 6835.

This is former RAF Dakota KN656 (US serial 44-77021). It was operated by the FBS. After its military service in Germany, this aircraft became PH-MOA. It crashed as such on 3 June 1971 at Southend airport, England, while carrying 32 Ajax football supporters on their way back to Amsterdam. Luckily, they all survived the crash (and no, they did not cause the plane to crash).

The story on how the Zambia Air Force received the Dakotas and Pembrokes dates back to the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland and its break up in late 1963 when Nyasaland became Malawi, Northern Rhodesia became Zambia, and Southern Rhodesia became Rhodesia. The ZAF inherited four Dakotas and two Pembrokes from the Federal air force, the Royal Rhodesian Air Force. The Alouettes and Hunters remained south of the Zambezi in Rhodesia.

Ex I-TROS, arrived in Australia with New Holland Airways and carrying migrants. Sold to Butler which disposed of it in 1956. Went to the US where it became N55L. In Italy it had been fitted with an air stair, which appears to have been the rectangular forward half of the standard double C-47 door hinged at the bottom. It was markedly larger than the rounded airstair doors Butler had in its other former C-47s.

In 1982, the Indonesian Army had at least two C-47s on strength, A-9036 and A-9038. Unfortunately, little is known about these aircraft. This example is fitted with the AiResearch Maximizer kit, which indicates a previous civil career.

This USAAF D-Day participant (dropping paratroopers near Sainte-Mère-Église, Normandy in the night of 5/6 June 1944) ended up with the South Vietnamese Air Force after it served with the French Air Force and the USAF in the 1950s. Its fate remains unknown.

The aircraft emergency landed here 20 Nov 1945 piloted by Robert L Fox. It was recovered later and repaired and became NC342 with the Civil Aviation Authority. But apparently the crew had left the aircraft and disappeared as there is a Missing Air Crew Report for this accident.

This is one of the commercial C-47As that were upgraded for military use and subsequently delivered to Greece after having obtained USAF serials in the 49-2612/2641 range (in 1949/1950). Operated by 355 Mira. This aircraft was withdrawn from use by 1980 and is now stored at Thessaloniki's aeroclub.
