Douglas DC-3, Zeljava Air Base
You will find this abandoned Douglas DC-3 in the Zeljava Air Base on the Bosnian and Croatian border. Based on the history of aircraft, the Douglas DC-3 has a position of its own when designed, it changed the whole aircraft industry and what people knew it to be. Designed as a cargo/transport aircraft, it took things to another level with carrying around 21-32 passengers and up to 6,000 pounds while going for lengths up to 1,500 miles. This was never an option in the previous aircraft that were in the industry. The production of this DC-3 came to a halt in 1942 but, not too surprisingly, there are possibly thousands that are still in operation today. As you see, however, this one has completely gone to waste.
