Agaricus, Yes it was that easy, I am surprised that, according to Mels listings, the DC-3 / C-47 has not been done before ! so I went for a 'nearly' post.
We all await your next challenge. Keith

I would assume we are still allowed to post the piston version, the Russian and Japanese version, as well as the 3-engined version, and the DC-1, DC-2 and the Super DC-3. Also the glider version. I am still looking for a photo of the amphibian DC-3 cockpit.

Sorry. Keith, not a WACO Alphabet soup, but it is American. The challenge aircraft is very rare, and one of the few examples is restored and airworthy.

Sorry, not a Fairchild 22. Not made in France. The mystery aircraft was designed by an aviation pioneer who gave a famous pilot his first flight in an aeroplane.

Bri,

Ryan YO-51 Dragonfly?

In which case, the pioneer would be Tubal Claude Ryan (you can see why he used his second name), but I cannot find out who the other famous pilot might be.
