Chicago Midway Airport - TWA - DC-3 (C-47)

(C.1954) (N51167) Immediately after WW II, TWA acquired a dozen or so C-47s to use as freighters. Although not of the genre of latter day 'windowless wonders', N511567 had four

of its passenger windows blocked off. Some of these C-47s were in operation for almost a decade, but by the end of the 1950s they were all sold off. Mid-air in 1955, see report; aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19550712-0
