The C-47 was put to use by US armed forces immediately on America's entry to the war. The Naval Air Transport Service was established just a few days after Pearl Harbor, and would make extensive use of the type. The USAAF Air Transport Command was formed in the middle of 1941, and also proved an enthusiastic user.
