      The large twin engine is a DC-3 most likely captured from Denmark or Holland or one of the few that Luft Hansa had before the war the smaller twin I think is a Fokker Reaper.

      The boat is not a Mtb but I think a MMS Motor minesweeper R.25~40 class?

        Great information and many thanks for the quick reply. Iam rather sure its a dutch DC 3 then as the picture belongs to a series of fotos that were obviously take on a dutch airfield. Also the other two pics are from that series. The foto with the ship must also be taken in holland.


        many thanks again,

        Jens

          The Douglas aircraft in the photo is actually a DC-2 (identifiable by the twin landing lights in the nose). These planes were operated by KLM before the war.

          Great photos!

              Hi Jens,

              The first photo is an ex-Dutch Air Force Fokker G-1b twin boom fighter. They were originally built by Fokker for export to Spain but taken over by the Dutch Air Force in May 1940. The second indeed depicts a DC-2, most probably ex-KLM (Royal Dutch Airlines).

              The third photo I think is a German R-Boot also known as Raumboot.

              Regards,
              Bert
