TC-ALP

Douglas DC-3CS1C3G (c/n 9261)

As C-47A-15-DL  42-23399, it was used in the North Africa campaign in 1943 and then moved to the 8th Air Force in England where it was used (and lived to tell the tale) as a 50th Squadron D-Day Paratroop Drop machine. It was released for civilian use in December 1946 and went to Devlet Hava Yolları (Turkish State Airline) as TC-ALP. After a three years with the Turkish Air Force starting on October 1966, it was broken up at Yesilkoy in 1969.
