Here a tale told by an old DC-3 pilot:

Rich might have made one transaltlantic trip, but he probably wouldn't have
willingly made anymore. DC-3s were noisy and bounced around a lot.
The cute stewardesses were all RNs and usually not all that pretty or f
Yeah but the growl of those piston engines... and real propellers!
