I am a child of the 60's. The best time to be born. The best music ever. One famous song of that era's''Deportee''(Plane Wreck at Los Gatos).

Much about that plane crash is on the Internet. The plane was a DC-3 (C-47B-DK), NC36480

I was born at the tail end of the 60's and was completely unaware of that story. Very interesting, so I did some quick Googling. That's a sad case. I don't think the situation now is any better at all.
Regardless, I couldn't find any images for any DC-3C from Airline Transport Carriers either. Keep us informed here of how your search goes.
I have a half-built C-47/DC-3 myself.
Thanks,
Sean.
