Douglas C 47 Dakota je verjetno eno najbolj znanih transportnih letal iz 2. svetovne vojne.Njegova civilna razlicica je bila DC 3. Opremljen je bil z dvema Pratt & Whitney Twin wasp R-1830 radialnima motorjema. To je bil verjetno najzaneslivejši ameriški motor 2. svetovne vojne. Uporabljali so ga v številnih ameriških lovskih in bombniških letalih kot so B-24 Liberator, PBY Catlina, F4F Wildcat ce jih omenimo le nekaj.
Med 2. svetovno vojno je bila Bela Krajina osvobojeno ozemlje. V bližnjem Podzemlju je bilo partizansko letališce, ki so ga uporabljali britanski in ameriški letalci za prevoz ranjencev v bolnišnice v Italiji ter za dostavo orožja in drugega materiala za pomoc partizanom.
V spomin na partizansko letališce je jugoslovanska vojska podarila odsluženo dakoto C47. Letalo je pobarvano v barvni shemi RAF.
Geocache je postavljen kakih 50 metrov od letala.
Cache je majhen vojaški zabojnik (JNA), ki vsebuje stash note, log book, svincnik in šilcek (ne odstranjuj) ter nekaj manjših predmetov.

Douglas C 47 Dakota was probably the most famous allied WW2 transport and cargo airplane.
It's civil variant was named DC 3. It was powered by 2 Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp R-1830 radial engines, probably the most reliable american built engine that was used in many American WW2 fighter and bomber airplanes... B-24 Liberator, PBY Catalina, F4F Wildcat... to name just a few.
During WW2 Bela Krajina was liberated territory. Near Podzemelj there was partisan airfield that was used by the British and Americans flyers to carry heavily wounded to hospitals in Italy and to bring weapons and other material to help the resistance.
In the memory of partisan airfield, Yugoslav army donated a worn out C47 to pay respect to resistance fighters.
