Transport in Columbia
EN_01061504_0013
Colombian infantry troops from the 52nd jungle batallion and civilian passengers rest during a flight from the town of Caruru to San Jose del guaviare. Colombia, 2012. In Colombia they call them the buses of the jungle, or the tractors of the jungle, because they fly over everything that is jungle. Introduced in 1935 by the Douglas Aircraft Co., the DC-3 revolutionized air travel, offering 14-berth sleeper transports that allowed passengers to fly from New York to Los Angeles. In World War II, they transported allied troops to Normandy and operated in the heat and sandstorms of North Africa and the frigid Arctic Circle.
