Schiphol in 1935, view towards the north. The airfield is becoming a tourist attraction. An old KLM Fokker F.VIIa is presumably carrying out sightseeing flights. Beyond the terrace is a D.XVI fighter. The DC-2 is named Koetilang, Malay for bulbul bird, reflecting the importance of the East Indies to KLM and to Dutch society in general. This DC-2 was destroyed by bombing here on 10 May 1940. Photo from: Amsterdam City Archives This photo was added on 31 August 2019, and has since been viewed 726 times. |
