From the readme:
Douglas DC-5
The Douglas DC-5 was developed as a 16/22 passenger civilian airliner, with a high wing and tricycle landing gear. Four examples were produced for KLM Airlines, and were used to evacuate civilians from Java to Australia in 1942. One of these aircraft was damaged and captured by the Japanese, who extensively test flew it. The earliest U.S. DC-5 military operations were by the U.S. Navy who had ordered seven examples in 1939. Three were R3D-1 16-seat personnel carriers, and four were R3D-2s (22 seat paratrooper version) for the U.S. Marine Corps. The prototype was sold to William Boeing, but was later impressed into the U.S. Navy as the sole R3D-3.
