Description
The C-47 saw action in every WWII theater including both the Western and Eastern Fronts. The version specially designed to carry paratroopers was known as the C-53 Skytrooper, but were produced in much smaller numbers and generally also identified as a C-47 upon first glance. The C-47B had turbo-superchargers added so they could fly over the Himalaya Mountains or the ‘Hump’ as it was known into China from India to re-supply Allied troops there.
Over 5,300 C-47A models were built during the war. The C-47 was affectionally called the ‘Gooney Bird’ by soldiers, sailors and airmen of the Allies. The RAF received over 2,000 aircraft as part of the Lend-Lease program and were used wherever British troops saw action.
So successful was the basic design that there was a Soviet license-built version called the Lisunov Li-2 which served not only as a transport, but also a bomber in emergency situations. There was even a Japanese built version called the L2D codenamed ‘Tabby’ by the Allies.
In addition to Quick Mission Builder and Multiplayer modes, you can fly it Pilot's Career mode if you have Normandy and/or Bodenplatte modules: you'll get paradrop, transport and glider towing missions during major airborne operations - Overlord, Market Garden and Varcity.

User Reviews
When you're used to fighters, it can seem a leisurely affair o fly, but I love to have a change of pace now and then, so I have no regrets about buying this DLC. The plane is beautifully modelled and when on a delivery run, you can actually see the load inside the plane and watch it be unloaded once the doors open - albeit pretty instantly. Being caught in a searchlight and not having the speed to manoeuvre out its grip is pretty intense and adds to the drama. Same with the paratroops, you can see them sat waiting to drop and it all adds to the high level of immersion one expects from the IL-2 series.
Well worth getting.
