| مستخلص: |
In 1932 the Aeronautics Branch of the U.S. Commerce Department issued a requirement for a safer monoplane air transport, which Boeing first satisfied with its Model 247.

During World War II Douglas militarized DC-3s with cargo doors, hoist attachments and a strengthened floor. [Extracted from the article] |
