The Pacific Profiles series presents the most accurate WWII
profiles of aircraft which served in the South Pacific theatre.
Volume Seven covers the Douglas C-47, including numerous
derivatives such as the C-53, R4D and DC-3. This was the most
universal aircraft type to appear in the South Pacific and was
deployed from day one to the cessation of hostilities. It was
utilised by every military organisation including eighteen Fifth
and Thirteenth Air Force USAAF squadrons, and also by the USN,
USMC, RAAF, RNZAF, RAF and Dutch Air Force. Most profiles are
presented for the first time, alongside a full explanation of the
markings. Frequent trading of airframes between units resulted in
wide-ranging heraldry, unit markings and nose art. In particular
until now there has been a paucity of information about the
markings of Thirteenth Air Force C-47s and USMC R4Ds, a gap largely
filled by this volume. This volume illustrates the development of
unit markings from the first commandeered DC-3 airliners in
Australia through to the RNZAF C-47s used in the last days of the
Pacific War in the Solomons. The profiles are accompanied by unit
histories and photos. A wide range of reference material has been
consulted including photos, colour movies, official records,
diaries and information from wreck sites. The author, Michael
Claringbould, is world-renown for his expertise on the Pacific air
war. Never before have such meticulous colour profiles of the C-47
series been illustrated with such detailed and accurate markings.
