Description
80 years ago today, men crossed the english channel to start the west advance that would end nazi-fascist tyranny.
Here depicted as seen when the 2100884 was painted in the 91st Troop Carrier Squadon and took part of the filming of the Band of Brothers "Days of Days" episoded, when the 101st Airborne Division dropped in Normandy as part of the Operation Overlord.
Both 101st Airborne Division and the 91st Troop Carrier Squadron were based in RAF North Witham during the invasion, and the Drop Zone was between the Utah Beach and Saint-Martin-de-Varreville in the first couple of hours of the 6th of June.
the 210084 was originally delivered to the USAAF and in september 44 she was transfered to RAF and after beind used in civilian operations after war, she was purchased in 83 as a show plane and since then has always shown different C-47s wartime liveries as starred many movies and documentaries.
This version included textures with cockpit, cabin, custom cargo, ground equipment and textures for formation flying.
PS.: As soon as possible I will make this livery compatible with the C-47A version too, at the moment the C-47 seem to be encrypted and not accessible..

Thanks again for the kind review Willow!

Douglas R4D-1 - USMC
The liveries in this package represent aircraft of Marine Air Group 25, which flew the RD4-1 (the Marine version of the C-47 and nicknamed the "Flying Boxcar") throughout the Pacific Theater during WWII. MAG-25, as part of the joint Army/Navy/Marine Southern Pacific Combat Air Transport Command (SCAT), was founded in June 1942 and provided rapid transport of personnel and cargo, assault support, and aeromedical evacuation to and from forward areas in support of campaigns ranging from Guadalcanal through the Philippines. These liveries were inspired by aircraft pictures and drawings as provided by the MAG-25 site (https://www.marineairgroup25.com/) and reflect actual wartime aircraft. Many of these were procured from US Army C-47 pools or otherwise pressed into hasty service during the darkest days of WWII and were repurposed for service with the Marines. With scarcely enough time to paint over previous identification marks (which were prohibited by early Naval Air regulations, to include nose art) these aircraft were a mismatched lot and are shown as they would have been seen during their most desperate, and most distinguished service. For the service during the battle of Guadalcanal, MAG-25 was awarded with the Distinguished Unit Citation decoration, and was decativated in 1947 before returning for service during the Korean War.
