Nice. I thought the DC-3 was the same as a C-47, however.

Nope. The C-47 was made by Douglas to the terms of the military contracts. There
were numerous differences between the C-47 and the DC-3. The only ones I can
remember off-hand is the fact that the C-47 had a reinforced floor and an
oversized door. DC-3s could be "converted to the C-47 configuration" by removing
the passenger seats and replacing them with rows of steel bucket seats, but the
experienced observer could still tell them apart.
