A reinforced fuselage floor and the addition of a large cargo door were the only major modifications. Every branch of the U.S military and all the major allied powers flew it. The U.S. Navy version was the R4D. The British and the Australians designated it the Dakota (a clever acronym composed of the letters DACoTA for Douglas Aircraft Company Transport Aircraft). By the end of World War II, more than 10,000 had been built.BI226594 (lb-graffiti-1)Maximum size:4799px × 5938px (~81 MB)15.9in × 19.7in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1940s-abundance-achievement-adults-airplanes-C-47 Skytrain-clear skies-close-ups-day-DC-3-exteriors-factory workers-female-ground shots-half-length views-happy-historic production status-inside looking out-Long Beach Facility-manufacturing-military-military livery-monoplanes-nose sections-one person-other livery-photos-pride-production milestones-propeller planes-publicity events-right side views-rollout ceremonies-Rosie the Riveter-structural systems-sunshine-text-transports-triumph-viewed from below-vintage / retroRelated Photo/Videos:View AllRelated Virtual folders:Rosie the Riveter
