The C-47 was famous for its dependability, versatility, and ability to carry loads far heavier than the official specs allowed. Famous campaigns involving the C-47 were \"flying the Hump\" (transport over the Himalyas), dropping paratroops behind enemy lines on D-Day, and the post-war Berlin airlift.
