The Do 18 was designed as a transatlantic mailplane and, although 170 examples were built, it was unsuccessful as a military aircraft, underpowered by Jumo diesel engines, cramped and not all that seaworthy apparently. D-ANHR made a record flight of 8435 km (5241 miles) from the catapult ship Westfalen off the English coast to Brazil on 27-29 March 1938; it did not reach the intended destination, Rio de Janeiro. Afterwards it was tested with BMW 132 radials, becoming the sole Do 18L. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

One of the early civil prototypes of the Hiller HJ-1 Hornet ramjet-powered helicopter, flown by Stanley Hiller, with bow tie, and Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. By the standards of early helicopter marketing they are not even overdressed. Bernhard was rated by his RAF instructors as an exceptional, but overconfident pilot.

The Netherlands East Indies air force was the main military user of the small Lockheed 12 Electra Junior, acquiring 16 L-212 crew trainers and 20 L-12 transports. Eleven of the latter were delivered to the Royal Netherlands Military Flying School at Jackson, Mississippi following the Japanese invasion in the NEI. After the closure of the school, they were sent to the West Indies, Australia and England, and some served in the East Indies and Holland after the war. L2-40 ended up in the Indonesian air force and is said to survive at Kalijati (WIHK). Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

The proper identity for Luftwaffe aircraft from this era is in small print on the tailfin; KC-101 is just a code and this aircraft also wore BD-101 and MD-371 before becoming receiving the new serial 3401. K stood for a factory-held aircraft and C for Fiat. This Gina's nose is in the Oberschleissheim museum. MM6504 is preserved on a pole at Cameri. Photo from: Fiat

Only ten Skymasters saw service with the RAF. The first was EW999, Churchill's personal aircraft, and this was the second, US serial 42-72442. It reached Britain in February 1945 and was sent to No 232 Sqn in India together with KL978. Uncle Sam wanted these capable Lend-Lease transports back after the end of the war and KL977 became a US Navy R5D-3, 91994. The airframe was still airworthy in the 2010s as N3054V with Alaska Air Fuel at Palmer, Alaska. Information from Airscape. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

Scheduled passenger helicopter services between Waterloo and Heathrow began on 25 July 1955. Received from Westland two months earlier, G-ANUK operated the first flight. Pontoons were fitted to the S-55s because of the riverside location of the heliport. Even if all eight trips on a day were sold out, BEA still made a loss of over £300 and the flights were terminated on 31 May 1956. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)
