    The larger plane was indeed a C-47 (in D-Day invasion markings).
    The three were, a C 47, an A1 Skyraider and a T 28 Trojan, all used in the Viet Nam era. The C 47 was the original "Puff The Magic Dragon".

    Though I doubt in D-Day invasion markings

    Thanks for the indentification on the others. I was suspicious of the "P-47", thought it looked a lot like an A1 (we have one here locally), but then thought naaaw.
