Douglas DC-2 NC13784 began service with TWA (Trans Western Airlines) on May 18, 1934. The airline started as TAT (Transcontinental Air Transport) that called their self "The Lindbergh Line". After a merger with Western Air Express the name became Trans Western Airlines (TWA). In 1950 the "W" was changed to "World". On April 22, 1942 NC13784 was sold to Northeast Airlines but on July 22, 1942 it was impressed by the U.S. military as C-32A 42-65579. On November 3, 1944 the aircraft was sold as surplus to TACA Airlines.
Designed to meet a TWA requirement for a passenger aircraft comparable to the Boeing Model 247, the DC-2 was first flown in 1934. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
