That makes sense, since many C-47 were supplied to US Allies.

But, if I understand correctly, the main modifications to Lend-Lease aircraft were to guns and ordinance, which don't apply in the case of the C-47/Dakota.

Speaking of modifying the C-47, please take a look into the fragility of the aircraft's DM, which is one of the most vulnerable in the game.

While the airframe wasn't stressed to survive high G loads, it was otherwise fairly durable, as attested by the large numbers of DC-3/Ex C-47/C-53 aircraft still in operational use well after WW2.

Also, take a look at this Victoria Cross citation:

Note that Lord was able to fly his burning Dakota for approximately 8 minutes(!) before the fire caused the wing to collapse.
