I`d say ,based on the fact it`s only got `un moteur`,then it`s probably a IIIA,`as the earlier protos were bi-moteurs..and it`s in a museum,I guess...

If so ,Ouvrez les portes`...

Is that an Air France C-47 out the window? And if so does that mean its French?

My guess it is French, because this cockpit is laid out with 'Commandant' on the left, with Mechanicien de vol/Pilot's Assistant on the right, it seems. This was a very common arrangement, at least on former/still 'Colonial routes', right through the sixties and perhaps later.

I remember riding frequently on Air Ivoire, as a passenger, out of Abidjan to Bouake on single pilot operated DC-3's on domestic flights in 1965. Seemed a perfectly practical arrangement, in fact.

Hmmmm.... thinks: Don't anyone tell O'Leary!!
