History

The DC-3, known affectionately referred to as the "Gooney Bird", probably did more to establish 
air transport as a routine means of travel than any other airliner.  
The DC-3 was requested by American Airlines to compete with TWA, which was using DC-2's.  
Because American's route was longer and thus it felt it needed a sleeper plane, 
it was forced to operate Curtiss Condor biplanes since the DC-2's fuselage was too narrow for 
sleeping berths. 
Douglas was hesitant to begin a new airliner, since the DC-2 was proving very successful.   
American insisted, however, and Douglas did not want the business to go to a competitor.  
Thus he widened and lengthened the fuselage of the DC-2, and the DC-3 was born. American, 
United, Eastern, TWA, and KLM were early adopters of the DC-3, but eventually virtually every
airline had DC-3's.
