Udet U 12

A slightly out of focus picture of an unidentified Udet U 12 Flamingo two-seat sports and training aircraft. Unfortunately, only the "D" portion of the aircraft's markings is visible, but the insignia on the vertical tail narrows the time frame in which the photo was taken. It is likely that this is a U 12 manufactured by Udet Flugzeugbau GmbH's successor Bayerische Flugzeugwerke.

This U 12 displays the varnished wood colour scheme typical for this aircraft type, and the photo shows the laminated nature of the wooden propeller beautifully. Equally visible are the distinctive enlarged vertical tail surfaces characteristic for all but the first few U 12 aircraft built. Exact date and location currently unknown.

Junkers W 34

Atmospheric shot of an unidentified Junkers W 34 hau transport and trainer. The W 34 hau was powered by a Bramo 322 engine and mainly used by the Luftwaffe for the training of radio operators and pilots.

Unfortunately, both angle and lighting conditions make it difficult to discern any defining details regarding this particular aircraft. The distant background seems to be shrouded by a haze, which, along with the apparently wet tyres of the aircraft, might indicate that the scene occurred in autumn. Of further note is the distinctively large direction finder loop on top of the fuselage. Exact date and location unknown. (German Aviation 1919-1945 collection)

Klemm Kl 35

Klemm Kl 35 sports and training aircraft N?+?? of an unidentified FFS [Flugzeugführerschule - pilot training school]. Of note is the significant wear of the wing root grip strip. The aircraft seems to be painted in 02 all over. The photo is part of a small series of photos apparently taken at the same unit. Exact date and location unknown.
