A plane I have a soft spot for, but what’s the best reading material,past and present, on this iconic machine?

Try ‘Sixty Glorious Years’ by Arthur Pearcy published by Airlife.

“DC-3: Southern Skies Pioneer” by B. Lockstone and P. Harrison / 2000.
Amazing book dealing with the military & civil histories of the
DC-3 in New Zealand. Includes appendix aircraft lists!!! –
the favourite of any aviation book collector.

I’d also recommed Pearcy’s Douglas Propliners….where he discusses all the classic Douglas airliners. a very handy one-volume source and one of my favorites.
Also, it’s a bit old, but a nice inexpensive resource….
The DC-3, 50 Years of legendary Flight by Peter M. Bowers.
As you can tell from the name it’s old, but worth having.
