Hi all, My father was an Army Air Force/Eastern Airlines pilot and attended the Boeing School in 1936/37. Among his fave mementos was a framed Douglas DC2 manufacturing plate, with serial number 1237, manufacturing date of 5-1-34. We spent a lot of time talking about his time before the war as a mechanic, then a pilot during and after the war till the late 50's when he lost vision in his right eye and lost his ATR.
Searching this site I found the plane on the DC2 list and the serial# is curiously 1237/1 (it is the only one like that). I recall my father saying the plane had crashed before the war. The information on this site says it is "De registered" but shows a color photo of it in TWA markings. So, did the plane crash and then be rebuilt? I can photograph the plate and attach it if that will help, Thanks, Tin in florida USA
