Yep, I think the DC-3/C-47 is the greatest plane of all time also.
It might be considered but you still can't compare its longevity to the DC-3
Your wrong about that... the C54 and the C69 were clearly far in advance of anything the germans might have planned and they were operational . The 52 was light years behind the 47Well ofcourse not, not many were built, much unlike the DC-3. The Ju-290 -252 are individually clearly better transport civil aircraft though.
Had Germany won the war the Ju-290 -252 would've likely had the same reputation as the DC-3 has now.

A tri-motor taildragger - a bygone era.
I think the Germans just would of produced DC-3s!
Why do you think that I am wrong pbfoot ? The C-69 Constellation (Or L-49) didn't outperform the Ju-290 or Ju-252 in any way except speed. The Ju-290 -252 both flew further, could carry more, had defensive armament and had a rear loading ramp.
And I certainly don't see how the C-54 is a match for the Ju-290 or -252.
QUOTE]Geez as a german you would think the C54 and c47 would almost be on your currency as they are the aircraft that supplied a city of several million while the aircraft you vaunt couldn't supply 600000 with shorter flying distances or were the Americans just more innovative in their use.
