Description: Hobby Master Airliner Series HL1307 Douglas C-47 Skytrain Diecast Model USAAF 86th TS, #42-93087 Camel Caravan to Berlin, Neubiberg AFB, Germany, Berlin Air Lift 1948Limited Edition 1:200 Scale Length WidthDouglas C-47 Skytrain 3.75" 5.75" During the Berlin Airlift that lasted from June 24, 1948 until May 12, 1949 the 86th Fighter Group had chosen a camel as its mascot and flew one in from Libya that they named Clarence. In October 1948 a C-47A with Clarence aboard and designated "Camel Caravan To Berlin" left Neubiberg AB laden with thousands of pounds of candy, games and toys as a good will gesture for the children of Berlin that were caught in the Soviet imposed blockade of the city. Douglas C-47 Skytrain Designed to meet an American Airlines requirement for an enlarged version of the DC-2, the DC-3 was first flown on December 17th, 1935. Capable of carrying 24 passengers at a cruising speed of 180 mph, the DC-3's speed and long range revolutionized commercial air travel in the 1930s and 40s, when it carried 90 percent of the world's air travelers. Early DC-3s used Wright R-1820 Cyclone engines, but Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp Radials were fitted to later versions; these engines had better single engine performance and allowed the DC-3 to fly at higher altitudes.
