Difficult times, and not just because of a severe winter. Wearing neutrality markings, PH-ALE is seen departing for Lisbon via Shoreham. She was based in Portugal to provide logistic support for KLM's DC-3 fleet on the East Indies line, which had Napels in Italy as its European terminus after the outbreak of WWII. PH-ALE was the only DC-2 to join the KLM operation in England, as G-AGBH. Having survived the war, she was sold to Southampton Air Services, only to crash at Malta - Luqa in October 1946.

The first DC-3 in Asia. The photo source mentions 1938 but also 26 December 1936, which is plausible as KLM's first DC-3 made its first flight on the East Indies route around Christmas 1936. The big beautiful new Douglas draw a lot of interest en route. Note that 'Maatschappy' (company) is still spelled with y rather than ij. Photo from: Wereldmuseum

The registration leads one to believe that this was the first Dutch DC-3, but PH-ALI had a lower construction number and was delivered almost six months earlier. PH-ALH captured by the Germans. Used by Lufthansa as D-ABUG and by KG 200 of the Luftwaffe into 1944. Photo from: Amsterdam City Archives

PH-ALI was the first DC-3 outside the United States, arriving in Rotterdam by ship in October 1936, months before PH-ALH. Although we are not certain, this looks like the scene at Schiphol after the aircraft first arrived there on 13 October, flown by John Scholte. The name Ibis is applied on the nose, but difficult to see. First revenue flight to Paris on 13 November. Served on Indies route until 1939. Was in England on 10 May 1940 and served on BOAC's Bristol - Lisbon route as G-AGBB. Survived two attacks by German fighters, but was shot down over the Bay of Biscay on 1 June 1943.

Neutrality markings applied on PH-ALO and PH-ARE Emoe. The third DC-3 is probably PH-ALR Reiger. These three were ferried to Naples, the new European terminus of KLM's East Indies route, on 31 October 1939, getting there via Copenhagen and eastern Germany. They joined six other DC-3s on the Indies route which never returned to Amsterdam after the outbreak of WWII on 3 September. These aircraft were put on the NEI register in June 1940. PH-ALO to PK-ALO, destroyed at Broome by Japanese aircraft on 3 March 1942. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

This DC-2 crashed just west of Halle, Belgium after take-off from Brussels - Haren on a KLM service to Paris on 28 July 1937. All fifteen people on board were killed. The cause of the crash was never established. The photo is thought to have been taken at Schiphol with part of the 1928 terminal in the background. This picture completes KLM's DC-2 fleet in our database. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

The PH-AEH of KLM at Eindhoven-Welschap airport. In 1929 the engines of the PH-AEH were mounted in the leading edge of the wing. It received the designation F.VIIIa As this aircraft was also used for aerial photography and mapping, this configuration made it easier to photograph from the (open) cabin windows. KLM's PH-AEH was sold in 1936 as PH-OTO ( "PHOTO") to the RSL, (Government Service for Aeronautical Studies ). In September 1939 PH-OTO was leased to the LVA. (The Aviation Department of the Royal Netherlands Army). (Beeldbank RCE, photo SP-0018)
