It was the only Douglas high-wing passenger plane. Production stopped in favor of the DC-3 & DC4.

This is the description from my website:

Also known as "The Forgotten Douglas" the DC-5 was the only high-wing passenger plane built by Douglas. It wasn't too successful, and production stopped in favor of the DC-3. Now, it has been lost in the fame of the Dakota, and the other members of the Douglas line, and very few know there was even any such aircraft as a DC-5.

I'm working on one for FS9.

KLM had them in indonesia... looks like a very messed-up F-27 with radials

By the way, only 12 were built:

The DC-5 was to the Boston and A-20 as the Stratoliner was to the B-17 ...

From what I've read, the DC-5 *could* have been the workhorse of WW2 and the airlines, but for the fact that when war broke out, the DC-3 was in full production and "available" ...

There was an FS98 model (with source file) available, but it is a plane worth modelling (again).
