THE ‘DAK’: DOUGLAS’S IMMORTAL TWIN 
The February 2025 edition of FlyPast features one of global aviation’s most iconic types on its cover – the Douglas DC-3/C-47. Arguably the greatest aeroplane of all time, the seemingly immortal DC-3 has served in various capacities and for many nations. In our two-part feature we reflect on the type’s remarkable history, profile some of its more colourful users, and look at one of its final developments, accomplished in South African hands
