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)
