Excellent diorama at Flugwerft Schleissheim Munich showing Bavarian Flying Corps Unit 304b. This was deployed (with Prussian units) to then-Palestine in 1917/18 so would have operated over the ANZAC Mounted Division and the Australian Mounted Division as part of The Desert Mounted Corps.

Aviation history: the Douglas DC-3 (1936)

Before the DC-3, US airlines depended on government airmail contracts. Passenger fares alone weren't enough to keep carriers alive.

Then the DC-3 arrived. 21 seats. 2,400 km range. The first airliner profitable on passengers with no subsidy.

In SkyChart, the Dawson DC-3 unlocks in 1936.

Sikorsky S‑39‑C “Spirit of Igor” (c/n 920) — Final S‑39 built and the only complete survivor. Operated by Shell Eastern in the early 1930s, later restored over decades by Frederick W. Patterson III.
