  • Регистрационный номер: NC18603

    Sponsons instead of wingtip floats were a feature of the Boeing 314 flying boat (4x Wright 1200 hp GR-2600-A2 14-cyl 2 row radial engines). The 3rd aircraft, NC18603 was christened "Yankee Clipper" by Eleanor Roosevelt on 3.3.39 but was destroyed on 22.2.43 at Lisbon after 241 Atlantic crossings.

  • Регистрационный номер: PJ-AIT

    Another one for the sleuths from the Fred Kirby collection: where was KLM's "Troepiaal" on 29.10.43?
    "Troepiaal" (photo) had taken off on a scheduled flight from Jamaica when a hydraulic problem developed in the landing gear. Capt W.Versteegh decided to land on the grass strip at the USAF base in preference to the concrete of the civil airfield and was successful in making a smooth belly landing with no injuries. Following the incident on 29.10.43 local repairs were made and Lockheed 14 PJ-AIT c/n 1412 was flown again on 13.1.44, it then returned to Curacao for repairs to be completed and survived until 7.48.
