These same qualities suited military use with the aircraft, designated C-47, providing the backbone of the Allies' transport efforts throughout the second world war - most notably delivering paratroopers and towing gliders during the D-Day landings. Around 11,000 were built, and some can still be found in service around the world today. In tribute, our DC-3 desk sculpture has been cast in solid aluminium and polished to a high sheen such that its subtle curves and angles catch the light.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RAFATRAD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67638639558908,"sku":"3526","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/8715\/2546\/files\/image492182647.jpg?v=1790960412","url":"https:\/\/www.rafatrad.co.uk\/products\/aluminium-dc3-dakota-sculpture-23cm","provider":"RAFATRAD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
