DC-3 / C-47 Skytrain/С-53 Skytrooper / Dakota
Военно-транспортный самолет. Двухмоторный цельнометаллический моноплан с убирающимся шасси. Военная модификация пассажирского DC-3, спроектированного в КБ "Дуглас эйркрафт" под руководством А. Рэймонда и Э. Бартона. Опытный образец первого варианта DC-3, DST, поднялся в небо 17 декабря 1935 г. С апреля 1936 г. DST, а затем DC-3 и DC-3A строились серийно. Первый военный вариант, C-41A (на базе DC-3A), взлетел в августе 1939 г. Специально же приспособленные для военно-транспортной авиации C-53 и C-47 пошли в производство соответственно в октябре и ноябре 1941 г. Их строили заводы "Дуглас" в Лонг-Бич, Талсе (C-47 и C-117) и Санта-Монике (C-53). Всего изготовили 10 926 экз. (включая 133 учебных TC-47B).
Экипаж - 3 - 4 чел., 27 - 28 пассажиров или груз до 2725 кг. Моторы R-1830. Штатного вооружения не было, но в окнах салона имелись гнезда для оружия десанта. В США проводились полевые переделки под 2x12,7, в СССР - 1x12,7 (верхняя установка от Ли-2).
В годы Второй мировой войны C-53 и C-47 состояли на вооружении в США с января 1942 г., в Австралии - с апреля 1942 г., в Великобритании - с мая, в Советском Союзе - с августа, в Канаде - с марта 1943 г., в Новой Зеландии, Франции, Польше, Китае, Нидерландах - с 1944 г.
Основные серийные модификации:
- C-53 (R4D-3, "Дакота" II), пассажирский самолет на 28 мест с моторами R-1830-92;
- C-53B, арктический вариант с увеличенным запасом горючего;
- C-53C, доработанные реквизированные гражданские DC-3A-453 с дверями с правой стороны;
- C-53D, на базе DC-3A-547 с моторами R-1830-92, сиденьями по бортам салона и измененным электрооборудованием;
- C-47 (R4D-1, "Дакота" I), грузо-пассажирский самолет на 28 мест с моторами R-1830-92, грузовыми дверями, усиленным полом, удлиненным крылом и астрокуполом на базе модели DC-3A-360;
- C-47A (R4D-5, "Дакота" III), с усиленным шасси и усовершенствованным электрооборудованием на базе DC-3A-456;
- C-47B (R4D-6, "Дакота" IV), с моторами R-1830-90/90B/90C;
- C-47D, переделка C-47B под моторы без двухступенчатых нагнетателей;
- C-117A, с моторами R-1830-90C, пассажирский самолет на 21 место;
- R4D-2, с моторами R-1820-71 на базе гражданского C-49.
Предназначенные для флота R4D и экспортные "дакоты" имели отличия по оборудованию. Кроме военных модификаций ВВС различных стран эксплуатировали машины гражданского образца. В США они именовались: C-42, C-48, C-49, C-52, C-68, C-84 и R4D-4. Советские ВВС до самого конца войны располагали DC-3-196A, купленными в США в 1938 - 1939 гг.
И C-53, и C-47 очень широко использовались в войне. С лета 1942 г. они стали летать из США в Англию и из Индии в Китай. R4D с начала 1942 г. доставляли запчасти и персонал на передовые базы. В ноябре 1942 г. C-47 и C-53 высаживали десанты в Северной Африке. В этом же году они перебрасывали грузы войскам, сражавшимся за о. Гуадалканал. После высадки парашютистов на Новой Гвинее все снабжение наступающих войск осуществлялось по воздуху. На Тихом океане воздушные перевозки широко использовались для обеспечения боевых действий на Соломоновых о-вах и Филиппинах.
В июле 1942 г. авиация союзников высадила планерно-парашютный десант на Сицилии, в июне 1944 г. - в Нормандии, в августе - в Южной Франции, в сентябре с самолетов высадились подразделения, захватившие острова в Эгейском море. Привлекались C-53 и C-47 в ходе операций под Арнемом и при форсировании Рейна (март 1945 г.). Одновременно английские и американские самолеты обеспечили наступление в джунглях Бирмы, где не было других способов снабжения. В мае 1945 г. парашютный десант был высажен под Афинами.
C-47 и C-53 активно применялись для перевозок на Дальневосточном театре боевых действий. В частности, в 1943 - 1945 гг. C-47 использовались для перевозки грузов в Китай через Гималаи. Последний крупный воздушный десант был выброшен англичанами в районе Рангуна (Бирма, ныне Мьянма).
Советские C-47 участвовали в высадке десанта на Букринском плацдарме за Днепром в 1944 г., "воздушных мостах" в Словакию и Югославию (в последнем случае самолеты летали с базы Бари в Италии), обеспечивали действия всех фронтов и флотов на завершающем этапе войны. Последние вылеты они совершили, перевозя горючее в Манчжурии.
Польские ВВС получили несколько машин от СССР и использовали их как транспортные и штабные на заключительном этапе войны.
Выпуск военных вариантов DC-3 прекратили в мае 1946 г.
В Советском Союзе эти машины служили до 1957 г., в Великобритании - до апреля 1970 г., в Канаде - до 1973 г., в Австралии - до 1975 г., в США и Новой Зеландии - до 1976 г., во Франции - до 1982 г.
В послевоенный период C-47 состояли на вооружении во многих странах мира. Они как бомбардировщики и транспортные самолеты применялись в гражданской войне в Греции в 1947 - 1948 гг. В июле-октябре 1948 г. английские и американские машины привлекались для организации воздушного моста в Западный Берлин. В 1946-1949 гг. C-47 действовали в составе ВВС Нидерландов во время колониальной войны в Ост-Индии (Индонезии). В частности, в декабре 1948 г. голландские самолеты высадили посадочный десант под Джакартой. Французы применяли C-47 как транспортные и санитарные машины в ходе войны в Индокитае до 1954 г. На них даже перевозили в разобранном виде легкие танки. В 1948-1952 гг. англичане использовали свои "дакоты" в операциях против партизан в Малайе. Они сбрасывали с парашютами грузы для войск в джунглях. И Индия, и Пакистан неоднократно использовали C-47 в войнах друг с другом. Это имело место в 1947 г., в 1965 г., а в небольших масштабах - и в 1971 г. Египтяне на C-47 в 1948 - 1949 гг. летали с баз на Синае бомбить Израиль. В свою очередь, израильтяне использовали их для высадки парашютных десантов на Синае в 1956 г. Тремя годами позже парагвайские летчики с C-47 бомбили отряды партизан, пересекшие границу с Боливией. В 1958-1961 гг. самолеты, приобретенные ЦРУ, сбрасывали грузы для мятежников в Индонезии. В начале 1962 г. индонезийская армия высадила парашютные десанты в Западном Ириане (на о. Новая Гвинея), являвшемся тогда колонией Нидерландов. И индонезийцы, и противостоявший им контингент голландских вооруженных сил располагали некоторым количеством C-47. И как транспортные машины, и как бомбардировщики эти самолеты служили в ВВС Португалии. Их использовали в колониальных войнах в Анголе и Мозамбике в 1960-х гг. Во время войны во Вьетнаме американцы доработали некоторое количество машин в тяжелые штурмовики AC-47, обстреливавшие районы сосредоточения партизан. В 1967-1968 гг. правительственная армия в Нигерии использовала для военных перевозок во время боевых действий в Биафре несколько реквизированных гражданских DC-3. Как бомбардировщики C-47 последний раз действовали в "футбольной" войне между Сальвадором и Гондурасом в июле 1969 г. Сальвадорские экипажи наносили на них удары по военным объектам в приграничных районах. Последним же случаем применения "дугласа" как боевого самолета можно считать операции против повстанцев в Сальвадоре в 1983 г., когда две транспортные машины доработали по типу AC-47 и использовали на фронте.

Регистрационный номер: NC25664 Douglas DC-3, American Airlines. "American Airlines", одна из крупнейших современных авиакомпаний, основана в 1934 году как преемник "American Airways". За свою долгую историю авиакомпания спонсировала разработку многих самолетов. Если DC-2 создавался по спецификации компании TWA, то DC-3 проектировался как DST (Douglas Sleeper Transport) для новой авиакомпании. Образованная 11 апреля 1934 года, "American Airlines" поначалу использовала устаревшие самолеты Curtiss Condor со спальными местами, взятые в лизинг у "American Airways", но вскоре обзавелась своими DC-2. Глава "American Airways" Кирус Р. Смит по телефону заказал Дональду Дугласу 20 удлиненных DC-2 в спальном варианте - DST. Позже "American" сократила заказ до восьми DST, первый из которых был поставлен 8 июня 1936 года, дополнив его, однако, 12 вариантами (на 21 пассажира), ставшими известными уже как DC-3.

In 1961 a second batch of aircraft arrived to bolster the strength of the C-47 Squadron, including two genuine DC-3s - ONU 215 (c/n 2205) and ONU 216 (c/n 1947) - without cargo doors in the rear fuselage. The former, seen here, was assembled by Fokker in the Netherlands in 1937, later serving in Sweden as SE-BWD.

A detachment of Indian soldiers unloads its equipment from ONU 205 (c/n 18983), a former USAF C-47A, which was put into “active storage" from February 1964. Indian Prime Minister Nehru’s support for the UN in Congo was significant, the nation sending more troops than any other country involved in ONUC operations.

Kindu in eastern central Congo was one of the regular stops for the C-47 Squadron on its scheduled flights in 1962. Seen here at Kindu, ONU 218 (c/n 19781) was one of the last batch of C-47s received from the USAF in 1961. Kindu later became the main air base for the UN’s MONUC stabilisation operation from the year 2000.

Doing it the old-fashioned way - if one of the C-47’s starter motors failed, the crew got the engine started by winding a rope around the propeller hub and pulling it with a Jeep, as seen in this photograph of ONU 208 (c/n 26122) at a typical remote strip.

The C-47 Squadron would often send detachments “up country”, one of which was based at the old airfield at Albertville (now Kalemie) on the western shore of Lake Tanganyika. Here, one of the squadron’s C-47s makes a dusty take-off run while one of ONUC’s many Sikorsky H-19D helicopters awaits its next mission.

Built by Douglas at Oklahoma City in March 1945 as a C-47B-30-DK, with USAAF serial 44-76613, it was immediately passed to the RAF as a Dakota IV, KN470, and saw service in Egypt, India and Burma. Following its career with MMA it passed through many further ownerships, before being re-registered as VH-BPN in 1977. It was still operating, on pleasure-flying duties, in the early-to-mid 2000s, and is believed to survive in storage in New South Wales.

Регистрационный номер: VH-MML [4] Inspired perhaps by the logo of the processed-cheese brand The Laughing Cow, this benevolent-bull-in-helmet-and-goggles emblem adorned MMA’s Douglas DC-3 VH-MML RMA Gascoyne (later RMA Lyndon) - but not, apparently, for long. Fred Niven, who kindly forwarded Ray Webster’s recollections to TAH, writes, ‘‘Prior to [VH-MML] entering Air Beef service, an Air Beef characterisation of a bull’s head, the words ‘Air Beef’ and the name Gascoyne were painted on its nose by Ray Clapham, but only remained there long enough for photos to be taken. It never operated with the logo on the nose. Its name was later changed to RMA Lyndon to bring it into line with the company’s policy of aligning aircraft names with the last letter of their registrations.”

Alarmed reports of the "crash" have come from pilots in the adjacent Blackbushe circuit, from airliners overflying to Heathrow and from train drivers on the main London line which runs past the lake. "The rest of the venerable old lady is spread around inside the restaurant", reports Melvyn Hiscock, who took the picture. “As a publicity stunt it could be considered a success. As an aeroplane it could be considered b*****ed”. Wonder if they do Bar-B-Q wing ribs, or buy food supplies for the restaurant at SPAR?

Регистрационный номер: N67578 С середины 1930-х и до конца 1950-х годов фирма "Douglas" была самым известным производителем авиалайнеров в США.

An Ozark Air Lines DC-3 over Springfield, Illinois, in 1951. Ozark owed its existence to the failure of another feeder, Parks Air Lines (Parks Air Transport). The CAB cancelled the Parks certificate and awarded the bulk of its routes to Ozark, the last of the 13 permanently-certificated locals to receive its certificate.

Регистрационный номер: AJ-APT The arrival of Douglas C-47B AJ-APT causes a sensation among the locals at the remote airstrip at Chitral on February 18, 1962. The aircraft was built at Douglas’s Oklahoma City factory with the USAAF serial 43-49607, but was delivered to the RAF in December 1944 to serve as Dakota IV KK177 in India with Nos 194 and 76 Sqns. It remained in India after the war, becoming AP-AEI with Orient Airways in 1949 before being transferred to PIA in March 1955 to become AP-AJT and named City of Rawalpindi.

Регистрационный номер: AP-AJT The 20th Century meets the Middle Ages - the DC-3 is inspected by the local population at Chitral. Reportedly, the aircraft’s registration had been changed from AP-AEI to AP-AJT as the “I” in the former would have meant referring to it with the phonetic-alphabet word “India”, which the Pakistani authorities deemed unacceptable, relations between the two nations being very poor. The DC-3 ultimately went to Air Taxi of Iran as EP-AGZ in 1968 but was written off in a non-fatal take-off accident at Ahwaz in southern Iran in April 1970.

Мировая Авиация 163
В годы Второй мировой войны C-47 оказывался в тех местах, куда направлялись союзники. Самолеты эксплуатировались очень интенсивно - перевозили грузы и личный состав. Данный C-47 из 6-й транспортно-десантной эскадрильи ВВС Армии США следует над горным массивом Новой Гвинеи, 1943 год. В качестве эскорта привлечены Bell P-39 Airacobra - японские истребители могли атаковать в любой момент. Количество P-39 в Европе и Африке было незначительным, в то время как на тихоокеанском театре военных действий Airacobra и P-40 доминировали до 1944 года.

В ходе войны, наряду с поисково-спасательными SC-47D (позднее HC-47D), ВВС США стали использовать для спасения сбитых пилотов OA-10). Спасательный плот подвешивался под крылом и мог быть сброшен рядом с пострадавшим самолетом. Операции по спасению часто проводились совместно с ВМС и Береговой охраной США. Оснащенные OA-10 поисково-спасательные эскадрильи (Emergency Rescue Squadrons - ERS) базировались no всему миру, от Гренландии до острова Вознесения.

The first student out is carrying a 60-lb (27-kg) kitbag strapped to his leg, which is causing an uncharacteristic (and highly undesirable) somersault in the slipstream. The canopy-last deployment sequence of the X-Type Statichute is graphically shown in this photograph, in which the rigging lines have just reached their full extension and are about to pull the parachute canopy from its bag stowage. Bags and strops from two previous jumpers in the stick are trailing from the door, from which the student (an RAF nursing sister) is holding a textbook exit position.

Поломка шасси. Еще одной причиной аварии при посадке может стать поломка шасси, хотя на современных самолетах это уже не такое частое явление. На изображенном здесь C-47, зарегистрированном в США, произошла поломка шасси, но машину отремонтировали, и вскоре она вернулась в эксплуатацию. 5 ноября 1997 года во время посадки в аэропорту Лондон-Хитроу поломка шасси произошла на A340 компании "Virgin Atlantic" - левая основная опора шасси вышла не полностью, но экипаж сумел все же посадить авиалайнер.

PAA-Africa Captain Wayne Eveland and his First Officer, Millard Nasholds, stand beside C-47-DL serial 41-7729 (c/n 4208) after a Japanese air raid damaged its port tailplane at Loi Wing on April 28, 1942. It was repaired and back in service within three days. Ironically, having survived one of the harshest environments of the war, it was destroyed in a fire at Newark, New Jersey, in March 1946.

Регистрационный номер: VH-ANR Douglas DC-3 VH-ANR, photographed at Camden, NSW, Australia on January 24, 1987, is now being restored to flying standard after 13yr grounded in the open. Surprisingly still complete, lacking only its ADF, VOR and manufacturers plate, ANR is possibly the only DC-3 fitted with Wright Cyclones remaining in Australia.

On May 22, 1948, Egyptian Spitfire IXs attacked Ramat David airfield three times. The first attack received no opposition, but the Egyptian pilots met fierce resistance during the successive attacks. Four Egyptian Spitfires were shot down, and four British airmen were killed. In photograph a Dakota full of kit has just received a direct hit.

Luckily the C-47 was tough! Although former USAF C-47A ONU 203 (c/n 20010) was badly damaged during a forced landing as a result of engine failure after take-off from Tshikapa in June 1961, as seen here, nobody aboard was injured. A later summary of ONUC accidents drew a discreet veil over this incident’s rather odd circumstances.

AN EX-BELGIAN Air Force Douglas Dakota is slowly falling to pieces in a field near Diest, Flanders. It is owned by Jean-Marie van Boxmeer, who acquired the C-47 in 1992, intending to restore it for static display. His plans have been revised to the extent that he was recently considering cutting the Dak into 20in x 20in pieces, painting them with Second World War images and selling them off. Only the lack of a willing artist saved the aircraft from an atrocious end.

Мировая Авиация 163
Регистрационный номер: FAC681 [2] C-47A Skytrain. Карьера Douglas DC-3 была, вероятно, самой продолжительной в истории авиации. Военные C-47 внесли огромный вклад в победу союзников во Второй мировой войне, а после ее окончания они оказали существенное влияние на рынок авиаперевозок и развитие ВВС разных стран мира. Простой и надежный C-47 находился в активной эксплуатации более 60 лет. Изображенный самолет в 1990-е годы принадлежал транспортной группе колумбийских ВВС, эксплуатирующих ряд машин, на которых компания "Basler" установила турбовинтовые двигатели. Также 5-6 самолетов оборудовали в ганшипы, вооружив их и оборудовав ИК-системой переднего обзора, что позволит использовать машины даже в 21-м веке.
