> I was told that the 14 volt setup shown in the TO was for RCAF C 47s that
  had 14 VDC electrical systems. Why did the make these non standard C 47s?
  I would think it would add weight in larger conductors needed due to 
lower voltage.

What voltage did the RAF use a standard for aircraft electrical systems 
during WWII? Referring to front line combat aircraft, such as Spitfires
Hurricanes, Lancasters etc.

Also,in a similar vein, what voltage source did the Germans use in their 
combat aircraft?
