That's No Stinking DC-3

That is a Li-2 (Li = "Lisunov") in the colors of the Hungarian national airline for the 1960s.


Over 5,000 Li-2s were built under a license from Douglas Aircraft.

This is supposedly the only airworthy one left.

  1. Looks like a C-47 or R4D.

  2. Indeed it does, for they were built under license from Douglas. Heck, the Japanese built 500 of their model, too. About the only major combatants in WW2 that didn't fly vast quantities of DC-3s were the Germans and the Italians.
