HISTORY

20 Squadron ML-KNIL was a transport unit which flew from Tjililitan in the former Dutch East Indies. First they flew converted B-25s, but soon they switched to the C-47. The squadron was also known as 'Wolff's Airlines', named after the OPS officer from headquarters who was also reponsible for the organisation of air transport. The unit was founded 1 November 1946 and discontinued on 20 June 1950.
