The Start of the Douglas Journey. The DC-1 was a Prototype Airliner for TWA only. After a fatal crash with a Fokker F10 Trimotor, TWA looked to 5 manufacturers to build a Trimotor that can seat up to 12 people. Douglas won in the end despite it not being like a Trimotor and exceeding all requirements by TWA. The design influenced both the latter for the DC-2 and the DC-3, which would later become the most successful aircraft in history with over 16,000 being produced, combining variants from Military, and other countries who made specific adjustments to their respective variants. The Prototype was exchanged between multiple companies/people from TWA to Lord Fobes, then to the L.A.P.E in Spain, and finally transferred to Iberia where the Aircraft was damaged beyond repair on October 4th, 1940, after a forced landing. (That was yesterday but like 84 years ago, holy shit). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_DC-1

Douglas DC-1

The Douglas DC-1 was the first model of the famous American DC (Douglas Commercial) commercial transport aircraft series. Although only one example of the DC-1 was produced, the design was the basis for the DC-2 and DC-3, the latter being one of the most successful aircraft in the history of aviation.

#

it looks the same

jagged basin Oct 5, 2024, 2:01 PM

#

Fair enough.
The cockpit, wings, etc.
Except that the fuselage is thinner.

#

maybe add for adv customization from dc3

#

or convert

jagged basin Oct 5, 2024, 2:02 PM

#

That really doesn't make sense cause...

#

To begin with, it was made before the DC-3.

stone pecan Oct 5, 2024, 2:03 PM

jagged basin Oct 5, 2024, 2:03 PM

#

main prism The dc-3 need to be remodeled

DC-1 to DC-2 to DC-3 basically

#

Yeh

plucky lance Oct 5, 2024, 7:01 PM

#

dc-1 should be a part plane instead

#

since it was only a prototype plane anyway

lyric parrot Oct 5, 2024, 8:28 PM

#

this is a TWA win

main prism Oct 6, 2024, 5:27 AM

#

But the dc-3 is iconic

#

Make dc-1 be sold somewhere else

shrewd apex Oct 6, 2024, 9:18 AM

#

make the dc-1 be able to convert into the dc-2 but the dc-3 should sold as itself and have the dc-3 have a ton of advanced customizations like either 3 engines or have floats or skis or other stuff etc. https://discord.com/channels/820044095535185951/1233845384464306276 https://discord.com/channels/820044095535185951/1206501086828175441 https://discord.com/channels/820044095535185951/1242105288853557260 all could be added if dc-3 ever gets a remodel

#

the 3 engines could be like an upgraded from dc-3 and or be upgraded version of the bt-67

main prism Oct 6, 2024, 9:58 AM

#

what about il-2t export from the ussr?

DC-1 & 2 seems to be stretches rather than having certain exits or windows or SATCOM or whatnot, let alone the DC-3 having a literal new fuselage compared to the former

But a DC-3 Adv Customization will make sense for the DST variant which has upper windows for the beds
