EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Douglas C-47 aircraft, registration number G-AKGX, of Cyprus Airways, making a stop at Beirut International Airport in Lebanon on November 21, 1955. The Douglas C-47, a military transport aircraft that was later adapted for civilian use, is a legendary aircraft that played a significant role in both military and civilian aviation history. The image captures the essence of aviation in the mid-20th century, with the Douglas C-47 standing proudly on the tarmac, its propellers at rest, and the airport background bustling with activity. The aircraft's distinctive silhouette, with its distinctive "ramp" in the tail, is a testament to its iconic status. At the time, Cyprus Airways was a relatively new player in the aviation industry, having been established in 1947. The airline operated a fleet of Douglas DC-3 and DC-4 aircraft, as well as the C-47, to connect Cyprus with the Middle East and Europe. The photograph provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the important role that Cyprus Airways played in linking the Mediterranean world during a time when air travel was still a novelty. The Douglas C-47, with its versatile design and rugged construction, proved to be an ideal aircraft for both military and civilian use. Its ability to operate from unimproved strips and short runways made it a favorite among operators in the Middle East and Africa. The image of G-AKGX at Beirut International Airport in 1955 is a reminder of the aircraft's enduring legacy and the important role it played in shaping the history of aviation.
