The Douglas DC-3 - 90 Glorious Years

The DC-3 is as iconic an aircraft as the Mustang or Spitfire. It has endured more than any other with a few hundred still in use across the world. Geoff Jones explores the rich history of the DC-3 from its beginnings in Southern California to its use across the world and even today numerous enthusiast organisations continue to keep DC-3s airworthy.

About the author

Geoff Jones was a pilot, writer and photographer who grew up in the 1960s hearing the sounds of Cambrian Airways DC-3s thundering out of his local airport at Cardiff/Rhoose. He wrote about and photographed many aspects of the world's civil aviation scene during a career spanning fifty years, and built a reputation as a respected author/photographer with fourteen civil aviation book titles to his name and thousands of magazine articles. Flying a DC-3 in the Caribbean was a career highlight. Geoff died in 2017.
