Usage:

Inspired by the technical success of the DC-1, the DC-2 was introduced less than a year after the DC-1's first flight.

The new plane was similar in shape to the DC-1 but had more powerful engines, was faster and capable of longer flights. More importantly, it was two feet longer and could carry two more passengers. In 1935, the DC-2 became the first Douglas aircraft to receive the prestigious Collier Trophy for outstanding achievements in flight. Between 1934 and 1937, Douglas built 156 DC-2s at its Santa Monica, Calif., plant.
