DC-3 in the movie "42"

I saw the preview for the movie "42" which tells the story of Jackie Robinson. In the preview a DC-3 is shown making a landing. Anyone know which DC-3 this is?

It's Ron Alexander's 1940 DC-3 (N28AA). Filming was done at Fulton County Airport (aka Charlie Brown Field) in Atlanta. Several other local planes were filmed as well, including a Lockheed 12 and Stinson. Harrison Ford made a few trips to Peach State Aerodrome where most of the planes are based.
