SOLD Douglas C-47 Dakota wingtip

Original part of a wingtip of a Douglas DC-3/C-47 Dakota/Skytrain. This wingtip was once attached to the wing of one of the thousands of DC-3s/C-47s built.

The first aircraft in the DC-series was first flown in 1933 and adopted by dozens of airlines around the world. But things changed dramatically when World War II broke out and the DC-3 was chosen by the United States Army Air Force in 1941 as the transport plane of choice. The military designation became C-47 and over 10.000 were built for US operations.

Not altered at all

Since wingtip elements were interchangeable between aircraft we don’t know the history of this specific element. We do know that it is in the state it was when it was removed from the aircraft. The part is as original as original can be. This gives this piece its own personality.

One side is mainly white, the other side is mainly blue. This gives you the opportunity to alternate between the sides you want to see and display. The weight allowes you to hang it on the wall without too much effort.
