[edit]DescriptionDouglas C-47J-DK Skytrain ‘50783’ “Ready 4 Duty” (N151ZE) (50906087262).jpg |
English: c/n 14963/26408.
Delivered in October in 1944 as a C-47B-10-DK with the US military serial 43-49147. Immediately transferred to the US Navy as an R4D-6 with the Bureau No 50783. Modified to R4D-6S standard and remained in service long after WW2, being re-designated as a C-47J in 1962. She later flew for the US Department of Agriculture Forestry Service as N151Z, moving to the Florida Division of Forestry in 1976 as N151ZL. She joined the Confederate/Commemorative Air Force (CAF) in 1980 and was repainted in a US Navy scheme. She visited the UK during 1985 and attended the International Air Tattoo at Fairford to celebrate 50 years of the DC-3. Still a CAF aeroplane, she is seen at the 2019 ‘Wings Over Dallas’ WWII Airshow. Dallas Executive Airport, Redbird, Dallas, Texas. 27th October 2019 The following information on “Ready 4 Duty” is from the Commemorative Air Force website:- “Our R4D-6S was modified to carry depth charges on external racks mounted under the fuselage between the main landing gear. She was assigned to the U.S. Navy Atlantic Special Service Squadron and conducted airborne search radar and sonar evaluation as well as training airborne specialists and operators. "Ready 4 Duty" served in the Caribbean from Texas to Guantanamo, Cuba; in South America as far down as Rio; across the south Atlantic to Dakar; in the eastern Atlantic up to Baffin Bay and northern Newfoundland; and across the northern hemisphere to Greenland and Iceland. During operational patrols in February 1945, our R4D was one of 20 in a squadron that surprised a surfaced German U-Boat off the coast of Brazil and sank it! After WWII's end, the aircraft was retained in service and assigned to Naval Headquarters Berlin. Later the aircraft returned to the U.S. and served in an electronics warfare training role. Our R4D is now configured to demonstrate several WWII history lessons including sub-chaser, transport, hospital, and jump aircraft.” |
