'First three planes built by Kinner.' The sole Kinner P Sedan was built for Robert Porter, who managed the Kinner company following Bert Kinner's departure. The second aircraft is a Model R-1 Playboy built for Dr Ross Sutherland according to the photographer's notes, and on the right is a Model K Sportster.

The sole Heinkel HE 6 (E for Eindecker) seaplane, D-1220, was built in 1927 for an aborted east-west Atlantic crossing. The HE 10 derivative was apparently designed as a navigation trainer for the DVS (German Airline Pilot School, a covert military school). Two examples were built, D-1662 and D-1731, and the latter is seen having run into a dike near Amsterdam's Schellingwoude seaplane station after a flight from Warnemünde. Some reports claim, probably in error, that the accident happened across the bay near the village of Schellingwoude. The aircraft was repaired. Photo from: Amsterdam City Archives

The FK.52 reconnaissance aircraft first flew on 9 February 1937. The prototype was lost in a fatal crash here at Soesterberg on 11 August 1937. Koolhoven built five more airframes but there were no sales until 1940 when the Dutch army air force ordered 36, to be designated FK.59s. Two of the white tails were bought by the Swedish Count von Rosen for Finland in January 1940, including this one which became KO-130. Both aircraft saw combat during the last week of the Winter War in March 1940. KO-130 was shot down by Soviet AAA over Hanko on 16 August 1941.

The Rumpler 6B-2 was a single-seat floatplane fighter derived from the two-seat Rumpler C.IV landplane. The earlier 6B-1 was based on the Rumpler C.I. This example, German navy serial 1040, was interned by the neutral Dutch near Westkapelle, Zeeland on 29 May 1917. They liked it enough to ship it to the Netherlands East Indies in 1918, and it made its first flight here in April 1919. A second seat was later installed but it crashed during a test flight in October 1919. It is seen wearing early Dutch 'orange meatball' insignia.

Return of Co van Tijen after his flight to the Netherlands East Indies in this light aircraft in late 1930. Actually, the plane had been shipped back to Holland and Van Tijen was picked up with it in Cologne by his flying instructor, Willem van Graft. A grand welcoming cermony had been organised by stakeholders including Pander, the NLS flying school, and Van Tijen's employer, Van Houten's chocolate factory which sent 200 girls to form the letters 'VH' on the platform.

A batch of twelve new C.X (C.10) reconnaissance bombers near the Fokker facility at Schiphol. Propellers are still missing on the left row. The right row are 716, 710, 704, 706, 707 and 715. These planes are listed as delivered between 22 February and 9 April 1936. The Lufthansa Ju 52 in the background appears to be D-AXUT Lothar von Richthofen, and the DH.86 Express seems to be G-ADEB.

Powered by three 420-hp R-975 Whirlwind engines, the wooden Pander S.4 had a top speed of some 360 km/h (224 mph) and was designed to carry 500 kg of mail.

Used by the 1926 Stirling New Guinea expedition, The Ern was a Bréguet 14 B2 bomber rebuilt with a corrugated metal fuselage and a Liberty engine in the USA by Wilfred Yackey's company. The aircraft served the expedition admirably for two months, making two or three supply flights a day, but was abandoned as the glue on the wooden floats deteriorated. It is seen at the expedition's Albatross Camp (Albatrosbivak) with pilot Hans Hoyte in the front and Matthew Stirling in the back. Photo by: Willem Docters van Leeuwen / Wereldmuseum

Used by the 1926 Stirling New Guinea expedition, The Ern was a Bréguet 14 B2 bomber rebuilt with a corrugated metal fuselage and a Liberty engine in the USA by Wilfred Yackey's company. The aircraft served the expedition admirably for two months, making two or three supply flights a day, but was abandoned as the glue on the wooden floats deteriorated. It is seen at the expedition's Albatross Camp (Albatrosbivak) with pilot Hans Hoyte in the front and Matthew Stirling in the back. Photo by: Willem Docters van Leeuwen / Wereldmuseum

Photo taken in late 1948 after the photographer's flight from Menado to Makassar, Sulawesi. Miami company Skyways leased six USAF C-46Fs in 1948, including NC1648M, ex 44-7857. Parked behind is C-47 PK-DPE (c/n 12719), which served with the USAAF in Europe as 42-92870. It became DT-985 and NI-474 in the Netherlands East Indies air force, then to KNILM as PK-DPE in October 1947. As of December 1949 it served with Garuda under the same registration and later as PK-GDT, before becoming T-474 with the Indonesian air force. It may or may not be the C-47 preserved in Yogyakarta.

A Piper Cub of the Batavia Aero Club over the rice paddies, after WWII. The Royal Netherlands East Indies Army used some 78 Cubs in the Indonesian independence war which raged at this time. Some of these had been bought and loaned to the army by the BPM oil company, which supplied others to aero clubs. The aircraft shown here is the former RNEI Army R-370 (ex USAAF 45-5076), which was transferred to the Batavia (Jakarta) club on 1 July 1948, together with PK-SAF (ex R-346). A Cub painted as R-370 is preserved at Kalijati, but it is not known if it is this aircraft. Photo from: Wereldmuseum

VH-UKN had a chequered career with many prangs during its service with the Australian Aero Club (Victoria) and its successors, the Victorian Aero Club and the Royal Victorian Aero Club. In this photo the Gipsy Moth carries the Australian Aero Club logo on the forward fuselage, with the text "Victoria Section" below it. The aircraft was withdrawn from use in 1940.

An iconic photo showing the citizens of Albury towing Uiver out of the mud at the local racecourse, allowing the DC-2 to take off and finish in second place in the London to Melbourne Air Race. Pilots Parmentier and Moll had managed a hairy emergency landing on the racecourse, lit by the headlights of private car owners, during the night. Photo from: Wereldmuseum

It looks like a toy plane but, uprated to still only 145 hp and with clipped wings, this Monocoupe was a winning racing aircraft.

KLM's London to Melbourne Air Race adventure might very well have ended in disaster when Uiver got caught in a thunderstorm at night. Thanks to the townsfolk of Albury, the DC-2 was able to land safely, and here Capt Parmentier is seen taking off from the racecourse, leaving the rest of the crew and the payload behind. This was probably against the race rules but no one seems to have protested. Photo from: State Library Victoria
