The DC-3 came early enough to be in time for the war and, being more advanced and bigger, saw higher production numbers. | |

| Aug 24, 2017 at 18:56 | comment | added | Peter Kämpf | I would argue that the Boeing P-247 was the first to arrive at the gold standard. The DC-2 was a direct competition and took a lot of "inspiration" from the Boeing design, and the DC-3 was just a bigger version of the DC-2. | |
