EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic Fokker FXVIII aircraft, registration number PH-AIP, nicknamed "Pelikaan" (Dutch for Pelican), as it prepared for a special Christmas mail flight for KLM (Royal Dutch Airlines) in December 1933. The Fokker FXVIII was a pioneering long-range flying boat, designed for transoceanic flights, and was a significant addition to KLM's growing fleet. In the spirit of the holiday season, this plane was tasked with delivering a special batch of Christmas mail to Batavia, now known as Jakarta, in the Dutch East Indies (modern-day Indonesia). The round trip flight, which took place on an unspecified date in December 1933, was an impressive feat, covering a vast distance and taking a total flight time of 73 hours 34 minutes. The Fokker FXVIII, with its distinctive design and innovative features, represented the pinnacle of aviation technology during this era. The aircraft's ability to fly long distances, combined with its versatility and reliability, made it an essential asset for KLM's expanding network. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the aviation pioneers who made long-distance flights a reality. It also highlights the role that KLM played in connecting the world during the early days of air travel, making this image a valuable addition to any aviation or historical collection.
