Douglas DC-2

This page last updated on 26 May, 2009.

This site contains a listing of the Military serials and Civil registrations of most of the DC-2's that were built.

If you can't find the information you are after on the page, drop us a line via e-mail. We still have a fair amount of notes to type up and we may be able to find the details that you are after in amongst them. This site is still far from complete and we would appreciate any further details to add to it.

Do you have a photo we can use?

To find the aircraft you are looking for, press the Ctrl & F keys. When the search box opens up, type in the registration/military serial you are after and click on "find next". Events which occured on an unknown date are listed with ? at the start of the entry. Some of these may have a date at the end of the entry which indicates a time which the entry was current. ie: ? The aircraft was acquired by Michelle Pepper, Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia. 2004. This means that I do not have the date when Michelle acquired the aircraft, but I do know that she owned it during 2004.
