| Dakota DC-3 |
|
| The Douglas DC-3 was designed in the mid 1930’s as a passenger and freight aircraft, but built during the war years 1941-45 in large numbers, as the DC-3 (C47) Transport Plane known as the Dakota. It became revered for its versatility and ruggedness. The detachable wing tips from the Dakota are used to form the basis of a stylish desk. They are guaranteed all Douglas Factory Products, (or Original Equipment Manufacturer), constructed mostly between 1941-1945. They are stripped of their layers of paint and polished to a mirror finish. In order to get the flattest surface uppermost, for use as a desk, the wing is turned upside down. This also has the added benefit of making the navigation light more visible. The desk features two aluminium structural supports underneath, on which four mirror polished cast aluminium legs are mounted with 3 hex-bolts per leg for easy assembly. The wing tip best captures the style of the pre-war aviation designs, with it's elliptical shaped end and hundreds of mushroom rivets but it also has a contemporary feel with its mirror finish polished surface and sleek lines. Approximate dimensions:- Length: 92"(233cm). Width: 60"(152cm) |
