The C-33 was a military version of the DC-2 with a cargo door and a DC-3 vertical tail, but the standard DC-2 wing. 18 examples were built. 36-84 was used by a general who commanded the new Spokane Air Depot in 1942. It had an accident at Mines Field (LAX), California on 22 March 1942 and was written off. Presumably it still flew back to Spokane first because it was declared a CL-26 category ground instructional airframe there on 31 December 1943. Assumed to have been taken at Spokane, the photo must have been taken after May 1942 when the red dot in the US star roundel was removed.

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)

This was the second DC-2 in Europe, bought by the Austrian government, but little used and sold to Swissair in March 1936. Perhaps Swissair did not like the condition of the aircraft as it was resold to Spain before the end of the year. It served as a bomber in the Civil War on the Republican side, but also carried a delegation to Ankara in 1938 for the funeral of Atatürk, as EC-AGA. To EC-AAA. We have photos of this airframe as PH-AKF in 1934 and as EC-AGA. To see them, you can click on the yellow construction number link as always on AirHistory. Photo from: ETH-Bibliothek Zürich

Swissair's fifth DC-2, delivered several months after HB-ITO (c/n 1332). It was originally destined for Spain according to Douglas records, and used by the European agent, Fokker, as a demonstrator. During a demonstration at Croydon it wore 'X-1331', apparently a fake American NX registration, because it could not fly abroad under its temporary PH-AKF mark. HB-ISI destroyed in an American air raid at Stuttgart, Germany in 1944. Photo from: ETH-Bibliothek Zürich

The first European DC-2 operator was KLM, but following PH-AJU Uiver, the next eleven aircraft delivered through Fokker went to Austria ('line number' 2,) Lufthansa (3), Swissair (4, 6, 7, 9, and 10), ALI in Italy (5), LAPE in Spain (8, EC-XAX, and 12), and France (11, F-AKHD) At least five DC-2s wore PH-AKF temporarily, but this is the Austrian aircraft - the Austrian reg A-500, applied by Douglas, is visible. It was bought as a goverment aircraft, but little used. Sold to Swissair, but quickly resold to Spain and used as a bomber. Eventually EC-AAA.

The first European DC-2 operator was KLM, but following PH-AJU Uiver, the next eleven aircraft delivered through Fokker went to Austria ('line number' 2,) Lufthansa (3), Swissair (4, 6, 7, 9, and 10), ALI in Italy (5), LAPE in Spain (8, EC-XAX, and 12), and France (11, F-AKHD) At least five DC-2s wore PH-AKF temporarily, but this is the Austrian aircraft - the Austrian reg A-500, applied by Douglas, is visible. It was bought as a goverment aircraft, but little used. Sold to Swissair, but quickly resold to Spain and used as a bomber. Eventually EC-AAA.

The first DC-2 for Czechoslovak airline ČLS, photographed on its day of acceptance. Flown to New York, shipped to Cherbourg and reassembled at Querqueville airfield by Fokker technicians. Crews were trained by KLM. On 20 April 1936, OK-AIA flew the first commercial service by a ČLS DC-2 from Prague to Vienna and back, and then departed to Amsterdam in the late afternoon. This schedule was perhaps too optimistic and headwind, low fuel, a failing radio, and upcoming darkness caused the captain to come down in a wheat field near Doornspijk, Netherlands. The brand new DC-2 was a write-off. Photo from: Douglas

The sixth DC-2, parked in front of the terminal at Floyd Bennett Field. NC13716 to Braniff Airways in 1937 and Rudy Arnold photographed probably the same airframe in military service wearing only 1242 in 1942. It was allocated s/n 42-61095. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution

EAL DC-2 in formation with the transatlantic Vultee V-1 NR13770 Lady Peace, flown by EAL pilot Dick Merrill. Another shot shows a second DC-2 too. Supposedly the photos were taken when Merrill set out for the big flight, but it is unlikely that he would have wasted fuel to formate with the DC-2s and the photographer's aircraft. Thus they were probably taken either before or after Merrill's transatlanic return flight, or during his return to New York, as NC13731 was the very DC-2 that flew in a new propeller for the Vultee to Harbour Grace, Newfoundland; see photos 415955 & 415972.

This is not USAAF s/n 41-242 which was an AT-6A. It is almost certainly c/n 1242, the sixth DC-2 built, NC13716 with TWA and with Braniff Airways from 1937. Braniff's DC-2 fleet went to the Defense Supply Corporation (DSC) as of 1 June 1942. NC13716 was converted to a C-32A and was taken on charge by the USAAF on 18 June as 42-61095. The photo was apparently taken in the same month. The unidentified emblem worn might depict the tailfin of a large aircraft. The letters underneath read ASC or ASG, not DSC. Does anyone know more?

More spectators than passengers at Schiphol in the 1930s. You could go on a 'rondleiding' (guided tour). When WWII came to Holland in May 1940, Edelvalk (lanner falcon) was based in Portugal, apparently to provide support for the DC-3s serving KLM's Far East route, of which the European terminus was then Naples. She was the only DC-2 to join the KLM operation in England, becoming G-AGBH. Having survived the war, she was sold to Southampton Air Services, only to crash at Malta - Luqa in October 1946.

Schiphol's spotting corner. The presence of a Bloch MB.220, the second aircraft in the second row, dates the photo in March 1938 at the earliest. PH-AKT Toekan, registered in May 1935, was captured by the German invaders in May 1940. Luftwaffe service as NA-LA seems to have been very brief as it was apparently D-AIAV of Lufthansa when it crashed on 9 August 1940 at Lämershagen near Bielefeld due to pilot error. Two passengers died. Photo from: Amsterdam City Archives

A rare photo of this KLM DC-2, which flew for five years nevertheless until destroyed by bombing here on 10 May 1940. The captain is waving, obviously knowing about the photographer's presence. The DC-2 initally served on the intercontinental Holland - Java route and this one is named Perkoetoet (zebra dove), a singing dove species which is popular as a pet in Indonesia.
