Withdrawn from use in 1940. This aircraft was known as Quantico 1. It is believed to have been based at Turner Field because it had been built to accommodate larger higher performance aircraft than the original Quantico airstrip known as Brown Field. The R2D would have been the largest aircraft in use by the USMC when they were delivered. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland

The B in BNA is for Berry Field. The airport was built in 1936 for the 105th Observation Squadron as well as commercial use. The source gives 3 May 1940 as the photo date but the early B-17s on the left suggest that this may be the airport's June 1937 opening instead. Built in 1934, the DC-2 was sold to the Royal Air Force in late 1940 as DG470. The reg was reused by two DC-3s, c/n 6313 and c/n 19667. Photo from: Tennessee State Library and Archives

The famous Uiver was the very first DC to be exported. It was shipped from New York to Rotterdam where it was offloaded at Waalhaven airport for reassembly. After some searching for a bird name starting with U it was christened on 28 September. After its participation in the MacRobertson Air Race in October it crashed in Iraq on 20 December, just as the Fokker F.XVIII PH-AIS Snip, in the background, was crossing the Atlantic on its flight to the Dutch West Indies. The Fokker F.VIII with wing-mounted engines is PH-AEH, later PH-OTO. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

A30-14 being dismantled after a landing accident. It was trucked to Cairns then shipped to Melbourne for repairs. In 1947 it was sold to Marshall Airways for use as spares for its DC-2 VH-CDZ. A30-14 remained stored in Sid Marshall's yard until after his death in the 1970s. Sold to the Dutch Dakota Association in 1987 and shipped to the Netherlands. Now displayed as PH-AFK at the Nederlands Transport Museum. Photo from: National Library of Australia

A French DC-2, apparently in Amsterdam. Fokker 'line number' 11. Renault planned a DC-2 version with its engines but after testing of this state-owned aircraft, CEMA more or less rejected the DC-2 as unstable - not without justification. Aircraft probably ended up in Spain. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

'Unloading of airmail' - this may have been staged. The source is confused about the date but the photo may have been taken when Canadian Colonial Airways bought this DC-2 as CF-BPP in 1939. Another frame shows a RCMP DH.90 Dragon, CF-MPB, dating the scene after May 1937. Photo from: Post Office Department / Library and Archives Canada

NC13731 flew in spares - probably a propeller - for the transatlantic Vultee V-1 NR13770 Lady Peace which, flown by EAL chief pilot Dick Merrill, had landed in a bog at Musgrave Harbour, Newfoundland. EAL boss and WWI ace Eddie Rickenbacker was on board the DC-2, but it was piloted by George Branson and Joe Kelly. Several planes carrying journalists also arrived. Photo from: Conception Bay Museum

What makes this photo unusual is the Australian National Airways logo. UYB was owned by ANA but the ANA logo on the fin has been changed to AOA aka Airlines of Australia. ANA owned AOA which continued to operate as a separate airline until 1942 on services north of Brisbane. Ross Plains airport was opened in 1930. Postwar the RAAF aerodrome at Garbutt became Townsville's civil airport. Photo from: Townsville City Library

A very nice and surprise visitor on this clear day with temperatures reaching 34°C (94F), well above normal and setting a record high for this day at VNY. My friend Thomas and I didn't mind seeing the rare DC-2 and feeling the heat.

This camouflaged C-39 (we called it warpaint then) was taken in September 1941. This was close to the end of the red center national insignia use. The aircraft was from the Sacramento Air Depot and was plane number 20 of the 62nd Transport Group which had been activated in December 1940. The serial of the aircraft is not known. For that you would need to walk up close and inspect the data block below the cockpit. A C-39 has a DC-2 fuselage and wings, and a DC-3 tail unit, centre-section and landing gear. Thirty-five C-39s were built.
