Only One Available. The Douglas C-47 Skytrain or Dakota (RAF designation) is a military transport aircraft developed from the civilian Douglas DC-3 airliner. It was used extensively by the Allies during World War II. During the war the C-47 was used for troop transport, cargo, paratrooper, for towing gliders and military cargo parachute drops. The C-47 remained in front-line service with various military operators for many years. It was produced in approximately triple the numbers as the larger, much heavier payload Curtiss C-46 Commando, which filled a similar role for the U.S. military.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a very interesting piece of a Douglas C-47, that being the Auxiliary exit window found on either side of the aircraft. The window retains the original \u003cstrong\u003eAUXILIARY EXIT\u003c\/strong\u003e lever which still functions, and some of the original canvas straps attached to the top and bottom. The entire window measures roughly \u003cstrong\u003e21½ x 23½ x 5”\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe window itself is partially obstructed by what is likely an overpaint, and we are unsure when this would have been painted. The exterior side has a label reading:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCUT HERE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOR EMERGENCY RESCUE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe paint on this side appears to be original. The interior side has the lever with the lock and unlock decals in the proper places, with \u003cstrong\u003eEXIT RELEASE\u003c\/strong\u003e stenciled to its side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a really phenomenal piece that will fit well into any WWII aviation collection.
