The C-47 that the British and Commonwealth used took on the nickname Dakota. The C-47 was used mostly by Allies during World War II and stayed in front line operations through the 1950’s, there are only a few that remain in operation to this day. The C-47 was mainly used during World War II to transport troops, cargo and the wounded, there were over 10,000 of them manufactured. The C-47 was a huge success to Allied campaigns at Guadalcanal and in the jungles of New Guinea and Burma. The C-47 made it possible for the troops to counter their mobility of the light-traveling Japanese Army. The C-47’s were also used to airlift supplies to embattled American forces during the Battle of Bastogne. The most important role of the C-47 was flying The Hump from India into China, where the lessons learned from that trip would later help with the Berlin Airlift.
