    Strictly speaking the C-53 was the 'Skytrooper' and was the version of the DC-3 they kept in production for the USAAF (with P&W R-1830 Twin Wasp engines and the small passenger door on the L.H.) until the C-47 was ready for production

    This is possibly Charles Rector's means of returning from the B-25 ferry flight to india....Pan American had been engaged by Winston Churchill to set up an efficient airway across Africa to support the British in Egypt...after Pearl Harbour the route expanded to india and China and the Pan Am operation was absorbed into the USAAF ATC route from the USA via Miami and Natal, Brazil, later sometimes called the 'Fireball Route'
