Classic Wings Downunder Magazine
This is a very well written and thoroughly researched book with a large number of color pictures of flying, stored and derelict DC-3s, with sections like "where in the world...can you learn to fly a DC-3?"...It also features a great chapter titled simply "Return to Normandy" which is a tale of flying across the Atlantic for the 50th Anniversary of the D-Day landings. It was quite an adventure and well worth reading on its own. A great read for all those fans of the big classics out there.

On December 19, 1995 it was 60 years ago that the prototype of the DC-3 made its first flight. Such a jubilee is a good occasion to publish a book on the subject. Many readers will say: "Another book about the DC-3; what is there left to tell what I have not heard about this aircraft?" But this book is different. It does not bring the history of the world's most famous airliner, but covers more recent aspects of the DC-3. Such as where in world can one fly in a DC-3, jump form it, or learn to fly one. Further, you can find details of the turbo-versions and the companies that convert them. The largest part of the book contains information of the more than thousand DC-3s that are still flying, plus preserved aircraft and even on derelict DC-3s. This book deserves a place in the collection of every Dak or Gooney Bird fan.
