The
▲The [[Douglas Aircraft Company|Douglas]] '''DC-3''' is a [[fixed-wing aircraft|fixed-wing]], [[propeller]]-driven [[aircraft]], which revolutionized air transport in the [[1930s]] and [[1940s]] and is generally regarded as one of the most significant transport aircraft ever made (also see [[Boeing 707]] and [[Boeing 747]]).
==History==
The DC-3 was engineered by a team led by chief engineer [[Arthur E. Raymond]], and first flew on [[December 17]], [[1935]] (the 32<sup>nd</sup> anniversary of the [[Wright Brothers]] flight at Kitty Hawk). The plane was the result of a marathon phone call from [[American Airlines]] CEO [[C.R. Smith|Cyrus Smith]] to Douglas demanding improvements in the design of the [[Douglas DC-2|DC-2]]. The amenities of the DC-3 (including sleeping berths on early models and an in-flight kitchen) popularized air travel in the [[United States]]. With just one refuelling stop, transcontinental flights across America became possible. Before the arrival of the DC-3, such a trip would entail short hops in commuter aircraft, during the day, coupled with train travel overnight.
