Douglas DC-2 = KLM Airlines + Luftwaffe circa 1940
-
KLM was founded on 7 October 1919, making it the oldest carrier in the world still operating under its original name, though the company stopped operating during the Second World War - apart from the operations in the Dutch Antilles in the Caribbean. The first KLM flight was on 17 May 1920, from Croydon Airport, London to Amsterdam carrying two British journalists and a number of newspapers.
Although overshadowed by its ubiquitous successor, it was the DC-2 that first showed that passenger air travel could be comfortable, safe and reliable.
The first of the airline's Douglas DC-3 aircraft were delivered in 1936 and these replaced the DC-2s on the service via Batavia to Sydney.

THANKS to all who have sent me requests for their favourite DC-2 and DC-3 aircraft liveries.
I will make them all, but you will have to wait just a little bit, as these things take time to paint and
create. But all skins will be made.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy them in your flight adventures.
Cheers
MAX
