Soviet poster featuring the Tupolev ANT-14

Only 1 was built, in 1931. "The Tupolev ANT-14 Pravda was a Soviet aircraft, which served as the flagship of the Soviet propaganda squadron. It has been credited as Russia's first all-metal aircraft, with a corrosion-resistant-steel structure.[1]

"The ANT-14 was a larger version of the ANT-9, with a 40.4 m wingspan, compared to the 23.8-meter span of the ANT-9. Powered by five 358 kW (480 hp) Gnome-Rhône Jupiter 9AKX radial engines, it was capable of carrying a crew of three, as well as 36 passengers, at a maximum speed of 236 km/h (147 mph). However, its cruise speed was only 195 km/h (121 mph). Empty weight was 10,650 kg (23,480 lb) and the maximum takeoff weight was 17,146 kg (37,800 lb). The ANT-14 had a range of 900 km (559 miles), and an operational ceiling of 4,220 meters (13,845 ft). It had a non-retractable tailwheel undercarriage whose main gear consisted of dual (fore-aft) wheels."

ships at the establishment of the Javakade in Amsterdam, 1910s

"The Javakade is located on Java Island in Amsterdam's Eastern Docklands. From 1910, the Dutch Steamship Company (SMN) established itself here, providing warehouses, workshops, and accommodations for Indonesian sailors. The Javakade was the departure point for ships bound for the Dutch East Indies.

"The SMN transported passengers, mail, and goods such as rubber, tin, spices, and coffee between the Netherlands and the colony. The Javakade was a hub in this colonial infrastructure.

"After the Japanese surrender in 1945, the Indonesian struggle for independence began. Dutch troops and goods were transported to Indonesia via the Javakade and SMN ships for the so-called "police actions."

"Trade with Indonesia largely ceased in the 1950s. The SMN withdrew from Java Island, and the area fell into disrepair until it was redeveloped into a residential area in the 1990s." (tracesofwar.com)
