Airfix - Douglas Dakota MkIII with Willys Jeep - 1:72
(A09008)
Under the lend lease programme large scale deliveries of C-47s were made to
the UK, with nearly 2,000 Dakotas being delivered, the first entering
service with the RAF in India in 1942. The delivery of large numbers of
Dakota IIIs revitalised the RAF’s transport capacity, which until then had
been based around a number of obsolete bombers and general purpose aircraft,
which were poorly adapted for the role. Dakotas served in every theatre of
the war, most notably in Burma and also during the D-Day landings and the
airborne assault on Arnhem in 1944.
