    Introduction * This paint job interprets the scheme utilized by Deutsche Lufthansa of East Germany upon its fleet of Ilyushin IL-14P aircraft. * The real DM-SBZ was built in 1955, initially registered as DDR-ABZ. * Per Wikipedia, "Because of the usage of the Lufthansa branding (the trademark rights were owned by West German Lufthansa) the East German company was under constant legal pressure, and was subsequently liquidated and replaced by Interflug [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interflug]." Use of the Lufthansa brand ended in East Germany in 1963. * By 1961, SBZ had left the civil registry to serve with the East German Air Force. Description * This add-on livery is for application upon the VSKYLABS C-47 Skytrain digital model for X-Plane 11 & 12. Obtain it from: https://www.vskylabs.com/p/vskylabs-c-47-skytrain/ * This package is also compatible with the VSKYLABS DC-3 Airliner digital model for X-Plane 12 only. Obtain it from: https://www.vskylabs.com/p/vskylabs-dc3-airliner/ * This livery is a member of the complete Fleet of Fancy #11: Lufthansa. * Only the aircraft's exterior is being modified by this package. Interior textures will remain the developer's default. * Some liveries represent passenger door equipped aircraft, which are painted as such but do not visibly align with the animated cargo door objects. * Proprietary normal/bump maps are included, implementing Physically Based Rendering ("PBR") when appropriate. * Custom ski textures are provided. Skis are activated in the simulator by a knobbed lever near the captain's left shoulder. * Exclusive night-time textures (LITs) are provided, with guidance on their optional activation. * Optional replacements for the spinning propeller texture (whose tip color is red by default), along with installation instructions.

    Introduction * This real-life inspired livery was worn by the Douglas C-47A-20-DK serial numbered 12844 as built for the USAAF, serving their Air Transport Command in North Africa. * Back from the war and purchased by Pan American World Airways, she was initially painted with their "Winged Globe" livery and then updated to the newer "Globe Scheme" (colloquially known as the "Blue Meatball") in 1958. Of the 110+ DC-3's and C-47's to wear Pan Am titles, only two have been confirmed to wear the Globe Scheme. 12844's sistership, MSN 11716 was registered as N19912 while with Pan Am and also wore the Meatball. Both liveries are included in the payware package titled Fleet of Fancy #8: Classic Carriers Group 2. * Sold in 1960, 12844 moved to Spain to fly for Spantax and later Aeroflete in 1968. * By 1974, she was neglected and sitting derelict. Her hulk, still having engines, was still present as late as 2003. Description * This add-on livery is for application upon the VSKYLABS C-47 Skytrain digital model for X-Plane 11 & 12.

    Introduction * MSN 9759 is another C-47A built for the U.S. Army Air Forces in 1943 but quickly turned over to the U.S. Navy as an R4D-5, who subsequently passed it on to the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) three years later. The USCG only implemented eight of this aircraft type. * Some time around or after the U.S. Department of Defense implemented the tri-service aircraft designation system, 9759 was considered a C-47H and received a new coat of paint, as seen here... ...and this later version is included in the collection titled Fleet of Fancy #7: Life Preservers. * Additional information regarding MSN 9759's history could not be found.

    Introduction * MSN 4527 was built in 1942 for the USAAF. It remained in the United States for a few years before being processed by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for commercial sale. * It was purchased by Vias Aereas Colombianas (VIARCO) in 1945. Brought to Cali and registered as C-401, she was used to transport passengers and cargo to neighboring Popayán, Ipiales and Tumaco in the southwest region of Colombia. * A year or two later, she was re-registered as C-508, potentially with a new owner. * In 1948, ownership passed again to Servicio Aereo Medellin (SAM), and the registration was updated to HK-508. * In 1951, Aerovias del Continente Americano S.A. (Avianca) acquired HK-508. She was modified to the High Performance (HiPer) specification to greatly improve the aircraft's behavior at hot and high altitude airfields. In the early 1970's she also received what was arguably the most modern livery to adorn a C-47 at the time, which is represented by this package. Image Credit: Diamantis Giannis via pinterest.com * Despite the modern paint job, HK-508's age and dated equipment may have contributed to her demise. On August 12, 1974 HK-508 flew into Trujillo Mountain at 9,670 feet. Twenty-four passengers and three crew members perished. The wreckage was not located until October 31. Avianca retired their last C-47/DC-3 in 1975. * Wearing the previous Avianca paint scheme, sistership HK-111 has also been reproduced for X-Plane and is included in Fleet of Fancy #6: Classic Carriers of South America.

    Introduction This real-life inspired livery was worn by the Douglas C-47-DL with the serial number 4458. It was a rare craft since it only had two owners during its lifetime. The first was the United States Army Air Corps, for use during World War II in the Indian and African theaters. In 1949 the plane was purchased and ferried to South America to work for Línea Aeropostal Venezolana (LAV). LAV is a state-owned airline of Venezuela based in Caracas, operating domestic services and international services in the Caribbean. Image Credit: Volpati via airlinefan.com "AMG" was reregistered as YV-14C in 1975. Sadly, she did not wear this new identity very long, being withdrawn from service a year later. While not a terribly exciting paint job, Aeropostal implemented a much flashier scheme in the early 1970's... Sistership Y-C-AZR has also been reproduced for X-Plane and is included in Fleet of Fancy #6: Classic Carriers of South America.

    Introduction * This paint job represents the real-life livery worn by the Douglas C-47A-15-DK serial numbered 12693 as it appeared during the 75th anniversary of D-Day held over England and France in 2019. * The following are excerpts from https://thatsallbrother.org... "Nearly 75 years ago, on June 6, 1944, "That’s All, Brother" carried the first of the paratroopers from the 101st and 82nd Airborne divisions. Piloted by Lt. Col John Donalson, the plane led over 800 C-47s that dropped over 13,000 paratroopers into a battle that changed the course of mankind." "After serving in Operations Market Garden, Repulse, and Varsity, the airplane returned to the United States and was sold to the civilian market in 1945. During the course of many owners over the next several decades, the historical significance of the airplane was lost and it was eventually sold to be scrapped. Luckily, a historian from the United States Air Force discovered that this historic airplane was lying in a boneyard in Wisconsin. The Commemorative Air Force (CAF) was able to acquire the airplane, and through a large group of donors and volunteers, restore the airplane to flying status." "As part of the CAF Central Texas Wing, That’s All, Brother is collaborating with three other CAF C-47/DC-3 airplanes to make the epic journey back over the Atlantic in 2019. We will be retracing the classic ferry path from the United States to Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Scotland, and England to join up with over 30 C-47/DC-3 airplanes in Duxford, England as part of the Daks over Normandy project. From there, we will travel to Normandy for the 75th anniversary, then to Germany to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Berlin Airlift." * See more of this warbird at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlV383eh6zQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGysWUIyG4Y Description * This add-on livery is for application upon the VSKYLABS C-47 Skytrain digital model for X-Plane 11 & 12.
