Turkish Airlines

Turkish Airlines were founded in 1933 and really grew into a national and international service with the arrival of Douglas DC-3s in 1945..

 

The flights below came from the Winter ’56-’57 timetable from www.timetableimages.com .

 

These routes were flown using DC-3s for the longer routes from Ankara. The shorter routes from Istanbul were flown using de Havilland Herons.
