-|Summary=The '''Douglas C-53 Skytrooper''' was a dedicated troop transporter developed from the DC-3 airliner. It was verysimilar to the C-47 Skytrain, but it lacked the reinforced cargo floor, large cargo door and hoist attachment of the C-47. As a result the C-53 was much less flexible in operation than the C-47. Only 380 were built by Douglas.
