A U.S. Army Air Forces C-47 transport, tail number 315847, lies crash-landed on a Burma airstrip during World War II. Aircraft like this workhorse Douglas transport were essential to Allied operations in the China-Burma-India Theater, ferrying troops, supplies, and equipment over some of the most treacherous terrain and weather of the war, including the famed 'Hump' route into China. Accidents and forced landings such as this were common hazards of that demanding mission. Project: 218384
