Description from the seller
KLM 1933 Accelerated Christmas Flight Dec 18–22 and Accelerated New Year's Flight Dec 26–30: Holland – East Indies wall plate
Accelerated Christmas and New Year flight, 1933
December 18–30, 1933. Accelerated New Year's flight. Outbound from December 18 to 22 and return from December 26 to 30.
This ceramic wall plate honors the historic achievement of the crew led by Captain Ivan Smirnoff and pilot Piet Soer.
Commemorative plaque marking the accelerated Christmas and New Year flight, featuring an image of the aircraft *De Pelikaan* and its crew. Dates to approximately 1933/1934.
Dimensions: 15,5x15,5x2cm,
weight: 168 grams.
At the time, it was not yet possible to print images directly onto earthenware. Consequently—as was common practice then—a photograph was printed on thin cardstock and affixed to the earthenware.
The four-man crew of the Pelikaan. From left to right: Smirnoff, Soer, Grosfeld, and Van Beukering.
The photos are the part of the description.
Will be shipped internationally with track and trace code.
