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, flown by John Scholte and Dirk Parmentier. Scholte had been training on the DC-3 in Santa Monica. The big beautiful new Douglas draw a lot of interest en route. Note that 'Maatschappy' (company) is still spelled with y rather than ij.
