But before all this, there was a humble piston-engined aircraft that managed to persevere for years, AFTER the arrival of the jet age.Not only that, but for at least one generation, maybe more, this was THE aircraft that everyone got their first taste of flying in. Either in peace, or at war. And if some of these planes stick around for another decade and a half or so, they could be flying for ONE – HUNDRED – YEARS.This is the story of the iconic and wonderful Douglas DC-3 – and how it almost didn’t leave the drawing board.Stay tuned!-----------------------------------------------------If you want to support the work I do on the channel, join my Patreon crew and get awesome perks and help me move the channel forward!👉🏻 https://www.patreon.com/mentourpilotOur Connections:👉🏻 Exclusive Mentour Merch: https://mentour-crew.creator-spring.com/?👉🏻 Our other channel: youtube.com/mentourPilotAviation👉🏻 Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/shop/mentourpilot👉🏻 BOSE Aviation: https://boseaviation-emea.aero/headsetsSocial:👉🏻 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MentourPilot👉🏻 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mentour_pilot👉🏻 Twitter: https://twitter.com/MenTourPilot👉🏻 Discord server: https://discord.gg/JntGWdnDownload the FREE Mentour Aviation app for all the lastest aviation content👉🏻 https://www.mentourpilot.com/a....pps/---------------- you will find the links to videos and sources used in this episode.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V9daYlavrQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruoVjAx1W9s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MryhOqXbha8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFAsMt3vgsE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bb0wcaw_WYs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3QPJFRRm0g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldd2ZKLtDTs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DljBCEzvkLs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0gxbnzp_0A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyxa_tyBuhg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjArB0FyHqU&t=211s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZug7xcSRLc
