- HISTORY ASPECTS:
- The C-47 Skytrain developed from the Douglas DC-3, which was designed for commercial passenger service in the early 1930&rsquo,s. Entering service in 1935, the DC-3 was quickly adapted for military service and designated as the C-47 Skytrain. World War II saw high demand for the reliable C-47, with over 10,000 produced. The C-47&rsquo,s played a key role on D-Day, dropping over 50,000 paratroopers during the Allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord, June of 1944.
- The &ldquo,Stoy Hora&rdquo, # 292717 with tail letter S was the leading plane of the 45 ship formation of the 440th Troop Carrier Group on D-Day, The Normandy Landings on June 6, 1944 (codenamed Operation Neptune). It is said that the name &ldquo,Stoy Hora&rdquo, is the slang for the Spanish phrase &ldquo,estoy ahora”, meaning, “I am here for you right now&rdquo,.
