De Kroonduif

De Kroonduif was an airline, a subsidiary of the Dutch airline KLM. Between 1955 and 1963 it was the national airline of Netherlands New Guinea and served such destinations as Biak, Steenkool and Fak Fak.

In Dutch, kroonduif means 'crowned pigeon'. I once lived in the roof apartment of a building in Prague. Dozens of pigeons lived in my walls and ceiling. We became friends.
