Beberapa jenis pesawat Belanda yang diambil alih antara lain C-47 Dakota, B-25 Mitchell, P-51 Mustang, AT-6 Harvard, PBY-5 Catalina, dan Lockheed L-12 Electra Junior. (Kalau yang L-10 Electra)

Menurut catatannya AURI menggunakan pesawat ini sebanyak 5 buah hibah dari Belanda dengan registrasi T-301,T-302,T-303,T-305 dan T-310 . Menurut beberapa informasi,ke-5 pesawat ini dimasukkan ke Sekolah Penerbang AURI tapi usia pakai pesawat ini masih belum diketahui
Ini ada sedikit cerita mengenai pesawat ini dari web http://www.adf-serials.com.au/research/nei.htm

by Jos Heyman, Riverton, Australia

With the Japanese invasion of the Netherlands East Indies (NEI) in February and March 1942, a large number of aircraft owned by, or en-route destined for the NEI, were diverted to Australia and used by the RAAF or US services based in Australia. These involved aircraft of the Militaire Luchtvaart – Koninklijk Nederlandsch Indisch Leger (ML-KNIL), the Marine Luchtvaart Dienst (MLD) as well as the Koninklijke Nederlandsch Indische Luchtvaart Maatschappij (KNILM).
The history of these aircraft has been scattered over many reference sources. Some of these sources are solid and reliable whilst others started off as honest ‘assumptions’ which over time have been misquoted as ‘facts’, giving rise to conflicts that may never be resolved. Finally some data has not yet been recovered and may well have been lost permanently with the passing of time.
The following article summarises data that the author has found in published reference sources (books and websites) as well as data provided by correspondents (e-mails). It does not contain newly researched data although the ‘side-by-side comparison’ of data has allowed some outstanding queries to be resolved. The primary purpose of publishing the article is to draw out additional information and photos and/or corrections.
Additions and corrections are invited and should be forwarded to josheyman@hotmail.com.
Information on the fate of aircraft after their transfer to the RAAF, USAAF etc has been summarised, especially where such details are readily available on, for instance, the ADF Serials website.Whilst, after the capitulation, the NEI was keen to remain in control of the aircraft it owned and had on order, the rule imposed by the US was that all aircraft arriving in Australia after 9 March 1942 were to be transferred to the USAAF 5th Air Force in Australia, the RAAF or the US Navy. Aircraft which had not been delivered (meaning ‘shipped from the US’) by 16 March 1942, were impressed in the US and were not shipped.
The ships which had carried the NEI aircraft from the US were the Kota Baroe (arrived in Tjilatjap on 27 February 1942 where it was unloaded), Zaandam (arrived in Tjilatjap in February 1942 but redirected to Fremantle where it arrived on 6 March 1942 and was probably unloaded), the Sloterdijk (arrived in Tjilatjap on 2 March 1942 but redirected to Fremantle where it arrived on 8 March 1942 and was probably unloaded), the Tossair (unloaded in Melbourne after arrival on 3 March 1942), the Tjibesar (probably unloaded in Albany after arrival on 4 March 1942), the Tarakan (unloaded in Sydney after arrival on 1 April 1942), the Tabian (probably unloaded in Fremantle after arrival on 9 March 1942), the Tjinegara (unloaded in Sydney after arrival on 10 March 1942), the Mapia (probably unloaded in Melbourne after arrival on 3 April 1942), the Weltevreden (unloaded in Sydney after arrival on 3 April 1942), the Tabinta (unloaded in Sydney after arrival on 5 April 1942) and the Bantam (unloaded in Sydney after arrival on 23 April 1942).It should be noted that some of these ships may have called at other Australian ports at an earlier or later date.The US continued to recognise a ‘debt’ to the NEI and in due course supplied replacement aircraft as part of Lend-Lease arrangements. These aircraft, mainly Mitchell bombers, P-40N fighters and Lodestar transports, are not included in this discussion.

Lockheed L-12
A number of Lockheed L-12s destined for the ML-KNIL had been shipped from the United States to the NEI on the freighter Tarakan and were diverted to Australia. Although some reference sources have suggested that there were five aircraft on this ship (with serials L2-27, L2-31, L2-33, L2-34 and L2-35), it now seems evident from shipping records held in The Netherlands that the Tarakan carried only two aircraft, ie L2-34 and L2-31 or L2-33, with the others having been delivered to the NEI at an earlier date.
L2-34 (c/n 1302) went to the USAAF with locally applied serial 42-1302 and flew with the 3rd Bomb Group. There is no evidence to suggest that this aircraft, or for that matter the other aircraft, received a formal designation and serial or an Australian radio call sign. After the war it appeared on the civilian register as VH-ASG and eventually ended up in Malaysia as 9M-AMK. It crashed on 26 October 1966 at Bukit Besi, West Malaysia.
L2-31 (c/n 1299) or L2-33 (c/n 1301) went to 21st Squadron of the USAAF although some reference sources have suggested it was transferred to the US Navy in Australia. Other sources have suggested that this aircraft crashed end April 1942. The other aircraft (L2-31 or L2-33) is believed to have fallen into Japanese hands, probably after it was rendered inoperable by the ML-KNIL prior to the surrender.
Until recently it was thought that L2-35 (c/n 1303) was used by the ML-KNIL in Australia headquarters in Laverton where it flew with Australian radio call sign VHRDO. New information at hand, based on logbooks and documents of the 120th Squadron after its arrival in Soerabaja in April 1946 as well as letters and interviews undertaken by researchers in The Netherlands, now indicates that L2-35 was delivered via Tjilatjap in late 1941. It was abandoned during the capitulation and was recovered by the Japanese. It is thought it was given to an Indonesian Technical School and when recovered by the ML-KNIL in 1946 it still carried the original Dutch paint scheme with red-white-blue flags, except that the blue had been painted out. It was returned to flying condition again within two weeks. Eventually the aircraft was reserialled as L2-107 and, yet later as T-307. It was transferred to the Indonesian air force in June 1950 retaining the serial T-307.
Some reference sources have suggested that L2-27 (c/n 1295) was transferred to Australia and was then shipped to the United Kingdom where it arrived on 6 August 1942 on board of the Norwegian ship Hindanger.
It is, however, more likely that the aircraft, which had arrived at Andir in December 1941, was lost during a Japanese attack on Andir on 19 February 1942. The aircraft that arrived on the Hindanger, is believed to be a Lockheed L-12 (c/n 1275) formerly registered as NC18977 and owned by Pittsburgh Steel. It served with Dutch forces in the United Kingdom there and carried RAF serial NF753. Eventually it became T-5 of the Dutch air force and was written off in August 1949.

The last, and most spectacular escape flight took place between March 9 and March 11. Five men flew a Lockheed 12 ‘Electra Junior’ all the way from Java via Sumatra to Ceylon (Shri Lanka)Ensign Frits Pelder, a Dutch Brewster Buffalo fighter pilot heard the news about the capitulation in hospital and decided to escape. He made his way to the Java south Coast and found a number of abandoned (and heavily damaged) Lockheed 12’s on the Pameungpeuk airstrip. Pelder had trained on these aircraft and knew how to fly them.At the airstrip Pelder teamed up with Plt Off Mendizabal (Canadian), Sgt Stuart Munroe (Australian), Alan Martin (Australian) and Doug Jones (New Zealander)  and the five of them repaired one of the Lockheeds. They had no tools but somehow managed to replace a complete tail section, using coins as screwdrivers…The five of them took off on March 9 and flew all the way up to Medan in North Sumatra. They made another refuelling stop on a small dispersal field south of Kota Radja (Now Banda Aché) and got out only minutes before Japanese bombers flattened the place. Out over the Indian Ocean they set a course for Ceylon, with an old school atlas as  their only navigational aid …The island of Ceylon lay way beyond the fuel range of the L-12 but the inventive quintet had brought a number of wine casks aboard. These were filled with fuel, a hole was cut in the fuslage wall and a hose connected to the main tanks. And during their ten-hour flight they all took turns pumping fuel into the main tank by using a small manual pump…The Lockheed L12 (serialled L-201) was later taken into RAF service (as LV762) and crashed in July 1944 near New Delhi.Frits Pelder died in 2000 in his native The Hague…
