Identification cards Koninklijke Maatschappij de Schelde
Identification card Mr. J.P. Bogaard
Below is an identification card from the N.V. Koninklijke Maatschappij de Schelde, specifically from the aircraft construction department in Dordrecht/Zwijndrecht. The identification card is issued to Mr. Johannes Pieter Bogaard, who resided at Boeroestraat 23 in Dordrecht at the time. The identification card was issued on June 19, 1944. Initially, the Koninklijke Maatschappij de Schelde started as a shipyard, primarily engaged in shipbuilding and repairs. However, they also manufactured other products such as machinery, boilers, engines, steam turbines, aircraft, and light metal products. During the 1930s, the company expanded its focus to include aircraft construction. A separate aircraft construction department was established in Dordrecht, initially involved in the production of recreational aircraft. The department was located at Kilkade. During World War II, they manufactured parts for the Dornier Do 24K flying boat, specifically wings, engine nacelles, and fuel tanks. The aircraft were then assembled at Aviolanda in Papendrecht. These identification documents were introduced to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to the factory, thereby making sabotage more difficult[^1].
