I just watched the PBS show on D-day last night.
It showed fleets of DC-3s carrying paras over occupied France.
Each aircraft full of weapons and combat troops.
I don't know if that makes them combat aircraft, but if I
was in the left seat getting shot at, I'd probably think so.

Many non combat aircraft get shot at. It is shooting back thay makes them
combat aircraft.

A lot of British Dakotas had VGO machineguns in the windows - does that
make them combat aircraft?
