More About
Douglas R4D
"Ready 4 Duty"
The Douglas R4D (Navy), C-47 Skytrain (Army) and Dakota (RAF) were developed from the civilian DC-3 airliner. It was used extensively in all theaters of the war. "Ready 4 Duty" is a Navy version. Her first assignment was to airlift wounded servicemen and cargo. She later was used to test top secret electronic equipment. Since 1985 "Ready 4 Duty" has been flying with the Commemorative Air Force to educate, honor and inspire.
In the summer of 2024, the plane will be headed "over the pond" to participate in the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day landings at Normandy, France. She will represent the Navy and the more than 7,000 ships and landing crafts that participated that fateful day.
