Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, both in the USA and throughout Europe, Fighter Wings had their own allocated transport aircraft to ferry personnel and spares around between bases. When stationed at Wethersfield, Essex, in 1960, the 20th Tactical Fighter Wing was equipped with F-100 Super Sabres and support aircraft included this C-47A Dakota.
The Corgi "Aviation Archive" presents highly-detailed, ready-made diecast models of military and civilian aircraft. The vast Aviation Archive range has become the standard by which all other diecast airplane ranges are judged. Each Corgi model is based on a specific aircraft from an important historical or modern era of flight, and has been authentically detailed from original documents and archival library material. Famous airplanes and aviators from both military and commercial airline aviation are all honored. Corgi "Aviation Archive" diecast airplanes feature: - Diecast metal construction with some plastic components.
- Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.
- Pad printed markings and placards that won't fade or peel like decals.
- Optional extended/retracted landing gear with rotating wheels.
- Poseable presention stand to display the aircraft "in flight".
- Many limited editions with numbered certificate of authenticity.
- Detailed pilot and crew member figures.
- Authentic detachable ordnance loads complete with placards.
- Selected interchangeable features such as airbrakes, opened canopies and access panels.
- Selected moving parts such as gun turrets, control surfaces and swing-wings.
Designed to meet an American Airlines requirement for an enlarged version of the DC2, the DC3 was first flown on December 17th, 1935. | |
