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.
