Dakota veterans to relive wartime pride at Coventry Airport
13.12.05
Flight veterans are gathering in the Midlands to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Douglas Dakota plane - the American-built transport workhorse that saw action on both sides of the Second World War.
The DC3 Dakota - the RAF version of the American Douglas C47 transport plane - took part in the Allies' D-Day and Operation Market Garden invasions as well as the Rhine Crossing operation.
The anniversary event at Coventry Airport next Saturday is being organised by Air Atlantique, which still runs a fleet of the veteran aircraft.
