EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Douglas DC-3 aircraft, registration PH-ASZ, nicknamed "Zilverreigger" or "Silver Reefer," of the Dutch airline Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij (KLM) during its wartime service with the Royal Air Force (RAF). Taken by renowned photographer Charles E. Brown, this image offers a rare glimpse into the history of aviation during World War II in South Africa. The Douglas DC-3, a legendary aircraft that revolutionized air travel with its speed and versatility, was pressed into military service during the conflict. In the case of KLM's DC-3s, they were taken over by the RAF and put to use as transport and communication planes. The image shows the DC-3 standing proudly on the tarmac, its distinctive Douglas DC-3 livery gleaming in the sunlight. The aircraft's wings bear the RAF roundel and serial number, indicating its military status. Surrounding the plane are various military personnel and ground crew, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the airfield. The backdrop of the photograph is a stark reminder of the war that was being fought, with military vehicles and structures visible in the distance. Despite the setting, there is a sense of calm and order in the scene, as the DC-3 prepares for its next mission. This photograph is a testament to the adaptability and resilience of both the Douglas DC-3 and the aviation industry during wartime. It also serves as a poignant reminder of the role that KLM and the RAF played in the history of World War II in South Africa.
