.Tailwheel aircraft in general are not tolerant of landing crabbed, or indeed of getting out of shape at any point on the landing roll. Is the DC-3 particularly problematic in this regard?
The center of gravity is behind the main landing gear, getting any side load on the gear may convince the airplane to swap ends. The cross wind may even help.
