EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of wartime aviation as a Douglas DC-3 of the Dutch airline KLM sits proudly on the apron at Shoreham Airport in 1940. The DC-3, registered as PH-ALU, is seen with the distinctive Dutch roundel and markings adorning its fuselage, a testament to its role in the Second World War. During this period, the DC-3 became an essential asset for transporting troops, supplies, and even civilians in Europe, as the conflict disrupted traditional transportation networks. The versatile aircraft was used extensively by various military forces, including the Royal Air Force (RAF), and civilian airline companies, such as KLM, which continued to operate limited services under military supervision. The image of the DC-3 at Shoreham Airport is a poignant reminder of the critical role that civilian aviation played during the Second World War. The airport, located in West Sussex, England, was an important hub for military and civilian aircraft during the conflict, making it a fitting location for this historic photograph. Charles Edward Brown, a photographer for the RAF Museum, captured this image, preserving a snapshot of history that showcases the resilience and adaptability of both the DC-3 and the aviation industry during a time of war. The photograph also underscores the importance of air transport in supporting military operations and maintaining vital connections between people and communities, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
