Caption | The DC-1 during the first test flights in 1933. It still had narrow slats between the engines and the fuselage, but these were soon removed as they brought no advantages. In 1936 the DC-1 came into the possession of Howard Hughes (main shareholder of TWA), who sold it to England in 1938. Via civil war in Spain, it came to Iberia in 1939, where it crashed on takeoff from Malaga in December 1940. |
Caption (German) | Die DC-1 bei den ersten Testflügen 1933. Sie hatte noch schmale Vorflügel zwischen Motoren und Rumpf, die aber bald entfernt wurden, da sie keine Vorteile brachten. 1936 kam die DC-1 in den Besitz von Howard Hughes (Hauptaktionär der TWA), der sie 1938 nach England verkaufte. Via Bürgerkrieg in Spanien kam sie 1939 zur Iberia, wo sie im Dezember 1940 beim Start in Malaga verunglückte |
