Photo Comment

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
