The service history of the Douglas Dakota Mk.IV, registration KN628, reflects the aircraft's versatility and reliability in fulfilling a wide range of roles during wartime. Its association with Field Marshal Montgomery adds a significant historical dimension, highlighting the importance of air transport in facilitating military leadership and coordination.
