Was watching The Duke & the nurses on Flying Tigers again just now and noticed the upper T-tail and 2 vertical stabs on the right & left of the modified DC3. Was this a common mod to aid in high gross ops or just one-off for the movie?
To improve MGTOW wouldn't you need more wing area, as opposed to more stabilizer area? I'll vote for a Hollywood modification. I've never seen that on a "real" plane. That alone doesn't make me right, but.... -Skip
Those mods should increase maneuverability in pitch and yaw, along with increased drag, either with or without increased wing area.
