First flown on 28 Sep 1935, this aircraft was shipped to Australia in Feb 1936, to support an expedition in Papua New Guinea led by American zoologist Richard Archbold. On 8 July 1936 it was caught in high winds while at anchor in Fairfax Harbour, Port Moresby, and damaged beyond repair. Stripped of useful parts, NR777 was taken to deep water and sunk.

The forerunner of the Sikorsky S-51 was the S-48. This is the fourth of five XR-5A prototypes which seems to be tested here with no less than four external litters. This airframe had been ordered by the Royal Navy as FT848 but was requisitioned by the USAAF. Note the affluent parking lot in 1944. Photo from: National Archives at Boston

Charles Kingsford Smith lands Southern Cross on two engines. Starboard engine shut down when the centre engine exhaust manifold struck the prop (damaged blade pointing down). Port engine then began to run out of oil as -USU headed back to Sydney. Navigator PG (Bill) Taylor climbed out on the struts five times to transfer oil from the dead right engine to the dying left. Taylor awarded George Cross for his bravery. Later pioneered oceanic air routes from Australia to Africa and South America. Smith killed in November 1935.

First flown on 12 May 1941, the Platt-LePage XR-1 (PL-3) was the first helicopter ordered by the US Army. Laurence LePage studied the Focke-Wulf Fw 61 in Germany. Two examples of the XR-1 were built, this being the modified XR-1A. The larger PL-9 design became the McDonnell XHJD Whirlaway. Frank Piasecki worked at Platt-LePage as a young engineer.

KLM served Leeuwarden, the capital of Friesland province, in 1938-39 and 1946-49. On 27 December 1947, captain Robinson and pilot Kroon aborted their landing here due to fog but hit the spire of a church which took off 3.5 metres (11 feet) of the left wing. An emergency landing was made near Boksum, then spelled Boxum. The aircraft, formerly 42-92501 and KG314, was written off. Photo by: Harry Sagers / Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

KLM served Leeuwarden, the capital of Friesland province, in 1938-39 and 1946-49. On 27 December 1947, captain Robinson and pilot Kroon aborted their landing here due to fog but hit the spire of a church which took off 3.5 metres (11 feet) of the left wing. An emergency landing was made near Boksum, then spelled Boxum. The aircraft, formerly 42-92501 and KG314, was written off. Photo by: Harry Sagers / Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)
