SP-ASJ Douglas
DC-2-115D
(c/n 1318)
This fascinating shot came from the Barry
Maclean collection. According to Barry the photograph
was taken at
Cairo's Almaza Airport. That being the case it had to have been
in 1937, since SP-ASJ,
one of three
Fokker-assembled DC-2s operated by LOT, crashed in the Rhodope
Mountains in
Bulgaria
on 23 November 1937. It had been purchased from Deutsche
Lufthansa (ex D-EBEQ)
in February of that year.
