Rare WWII Douglas C-47 Skytrain USAAF Type E-1 Ammeter

The military version of the Douglas DC-3, the C-47 Skytrain was capable of carrying 28 troops and their equipment and was used by almost every combatant nation.

The C-47s, 2 x 1200 hp (895 kW) Pratt & Whitney R-1830-90D Twin Wasp 14-cylinder radial engines drove the aircraft's 2 x three bladed propellers delivering a speed of 230mph.

Each engine also drove a small generator supplying power for the aircraft’s operational systems and its 2 x large batteries. Some C-47’s also carried a small petrol-driven Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) under the cockpit floor commonly known as a ‘putt-putt’ .

The C-47’s electrical control board was mounted on the overhead bulkhead above the pilots from where the pilot could monitor power status and engine performance. On the right of this power board the C-47’s large Volt and Amp meters provided a constant power generation and use update.  

This Douglas C-47 Instrument comes complete with detailed Scale Model, Mango Wood Stand & Plaque plus Printed Fact Sheet featuring photo of instrument in aircraft cockpit.
