No Binding. Condition: Good. B/w wood engraving 38x21cm with image size 32x15cm, signed in the print by Eppo (Joseph Ferdinand) Doeve, and hand-signed in the lower right margin by A. (Albert) Plesman, KLM's co-founder and first Director. Very good, tanned, with small hole to the outer edge and small semi-circular stain to the up…per edge, neither affecting the image. Extremely rare, and probably commissioned by Plesman to celebrate solving a major problem. Undated c1948/49, this promotes KLM's short-lived and highly ambitious detour between Amsterdam and Batavia. This was established out of necessity when India, Pakistan and Ceylon closed their airspace to KLM in support of the Indonesian independence struggle. KLM flew the route over 100 times from 26 January 1949, with normal services resuming in December in the lead up to independence. The route avoided South Asia altogether, with the first leg detouring into British controlled territories, initially Khartoum, then switching to Cairo and Aden in May. The next leg was to Mauritius, and the final leg over open ocean to Batavia, making this the longest stretch of any scheduled airline. KLM used Lockheed Constellations with extra fuel tanks. Pilots mostly flew at night, using celestial navigation, dead-reckoning, direction finding equipment, ships, and drift meters. The Dutch ship "Aer Mas" was positioned at the "point of no return" in the middle of the Indian Ocean to act as beacon, provide weather data, and conduct emergency rescue operations. Deove's map shows the initial route via Khartoum and Mauritius. He incorporates KLM's appropriately named Lockheed Constellation "De Vliegende Hollander", and a steamship possibly the Aer Mas in open ocean. The map is dominated by the monumental figure of a KLM pilot exaggeratedly leaning forward with his right arm extended along the line of route and index finger touching Batavia. He holds a large mail sack in his left hand, above which people can be seen writing and posting letters. The ocean, bounded by the outlines of the Arabian Peninsula and India to the top, is rendered by a series of straight lines converging on Batavia, with darkness beyond. Eppo Doeve (b. Bandung 1907 - d1981) was known for political cartoons, adverts, murals, theatrical sets, costumes, postage stamps, bank notes, and paintings. He received the National Outdoor Advertising Award in 1955, and was made Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau in 1973 (an award Plesman had received in 1925).
