  Douglas DC-3 I believe, complete with 'victory strips' these were used by the Allies during Operation Overlord to help Allied fighters identify friendly planes.

  the military version was designated C-47 Skytrain, but the the troops called it 'the Gooney Bird'. These planes were most notable used to tow Waco gliders over France to drop Airborne troops to support the D-Day invasion. The stripes on the aircraft were most commonly called Invasion stripes. You'll see most post-D Day aircraft with them.
The Mustangs (North American P-51A/D) were the ones that most needed them as from a distance and in profile, they resembled an Me109.

Sorry...

  The Tail number for this plane is N2312G
the serial number is 33126

After its initial delivery, this one went for a long service career ! This TC-47B was delivered during the closing days of World War 2, on May 15th 1945 and was issued tailnumber 44-76884. It went on to the US Navy and was classified an R4D-7 with serial 99838. At some point it received a civilian registration, N7073C, but still under ownership of the US Navy. From the Navy it went to the FAA, where it was registered as N30 and meanwhile redesignated to TC-47J. The Department of Agriculture was next, in March 1975 and this was the reason to change the serial again to N87814. This did not last long as in August of that same year it was changed to N2004J and this was again revised in 1976 when N212GB became the new registration. In July 1978 it went commercial for the first time, being registered to Way Mac Enterprises Inc. in Jackson,Mississippi.
In 1984 it was registered to the next owner: Specialty Restaurants in Anaheim, California. Registration N2312G was issued and is in fact carried in small lettering on the aft fuselage under the tailwing. It did not move to California, but found its way to Tennessee.

  I would think the white star and blue background insignia would identify this as a "friendly" plane, but apparently you think they needed stripes
