SOURCE US citizen, field service representative of a large US manufacturer of military
and commercial aircraft. Source keeps his principals informed on a regular:
basis. The following setter was sent from Amsterdam on 1 Aug 52.

1. “Beginning July 17, 1952, KLM starts DC-6B flights from the Netherlands to Brazil,
Uruguay, and Argentina. The DC-6B's will fly twice a weex from Amsterdam to
Buenos Aires, one flight being routed via Frankfurt, Geneva, Lisbon, Dakar,
Recife, Rio de Janeiro and Montevideo and the other vie Zurich, Lisbon, etc.

The DC-6B's on these routes will accommodate 50 passengers; the 'Honeymoon Suite'

has four seats, while the main cabin has 34 seats, and the rear cabin is equipped
with 12 sleepair seats.

2. "The schedule of the special air freight service, which KLM recently inaugurated
between Amsterdam and Johannesburg, has been revised, with the result that the
time taken for each flight is now one day less. Since July 8, the 'flying freight-
trucks' have been leaving Amsterdam on Tuesday and arriving in Johannesburg on
Thursday every two weeks.

3. "pipers who has been General Chief of Flying for KLM for the past
four years, and in the employ of KLM as a pilot since 1945, resigned his position

effective August 1, 1952. Just as he was on the verge of departure with his
family, he was offered and accepted a new position with KLM. He will now be a
general representative for KIM and will be stationed in Holywood to act as an
Operations adviser. He will also take over all jet research.

4, “On July 24 at gbout 6:30 a big formation of ‘Flying Saucers' was seen above

Arnhem. Mrs. and her four children, two .sons of 16 and 13 and two daughters
of 12 and 10, saw them coming in 'V' formation from the North and they could see
{ them for several minutes before they suddenly disappeared to the South."
