| Douglas DC-2 |
| United States of America, 1933 -
The DC-2 resulted from a design competition as a reaction to the birth
of the Boeing 247, an all metal low wing monoplane airliner. Jack
Northrop's Delta and Gamma were the basis for the DC-2's structural
design. It carried more passengers than the Boeing and was an instant
success, not the least reason being its entrance by the KLM in the
McPherson-Robertson Race in 1934, where it won the first prize in
the handicap section. It finished right behind the specially designed
race aircraft DH-88 Comet. KLM was one of the first airlines that
realized the advantages of the Douglas concept. The model is this
KLM winner. |
