From Wikipedia
Uiver was the name of the Douglas DC-2 airliner with registration PH-AJU operated by Dutch airline KLM. This innovative aluminum aircraft became famous in 1934, both in the Netherlands and internationally, for winning the handicap division of the London to Melbourne MacRobertson Air Race. Later that year, the plane crashed on a special mail flight from the Netherlands to Batavia, killing all seven on board. A report blaming KLM director Albert Plesman and minister Jacob Kalff was reportedly suppressed in what became known as an "Doofpotaffaire" (cover-up affair).
