This was the second DC-2 in Europe, bought by the Austrian government, but little used and sold to Swissair in March 1936. Perhaps Swissair did not like the condition of the aircraft as it was resold to Spain before the end of the year. It served as a bomber in the Civil War on the Republican side, but also carried a delegation to Ankara in 1938 for the funeral of Atatürk, as EC-AGA. To EC-AAA. We have photos of this airframe as PH-AKF in 1934 and as EC-AGA. To see them, you can click on the yellow construction number link as always on AirHistory. Photo from: ETH-Bibliothek Zürich

Swissair's fifth DC-2, delivered several months after HB-ITO (c/n 1332). It was originally destined for Spain according to Douglas records, and used by the European agent, Fokker, as a demonstrator. During a demonstration at Croydon it wore 'X-1331', apparently a fake American NX registration, because it could not fly abroad under its temporary PH-AKF mark. HB-ISI destroyed in an American air raid against Stuttgart, Germany in 1944. Photo from: ETH-Bibliothek Zürich

on display since 1972, first with a pole under the tail. Now looking more "natural" with the tail on the ground. Still looking pristine even when fighting the, at the time, harsh Swiss winters

The DC-3 was built in 1938. In that same year, Bachmann, Blumenthal & Co Flugzeugbau (BBF) began manufacture of aircraft parts at this airfield, taking over a Gotha plant. Nuremberg's commercial airport was then Marienberg, which took over from the old Fürth / Nuremberg - Atzenhof airport in 1933. The industrial airfield served as a temporary airport from 1950, until the modern airport (EDNN) opened in 1955. Photo by: René Gardi / ETH-Bibliothek Zürich

The real, historically significant HB-IRN is now on display at Lucerne. This is a former USAAF frame 41-20058 that later went on to fly in Scandinavian with DDL Danish Air Lines (OY-DCA), SAS (OY-KLE), Kar-Air (OH-KVA) and Nor-Fly (LN-KLV). It was sold as N65371. After retirement, from 1976 the plane was displayed on the viewing terrace at Frankfurt in 1989 as N569R, it was moved to the Historic Aeroplane collection at MUC in 1993.

Designed as an airliner and bomber, the Ju 86 saw more civilian use than the He 111. Swissair bought one Ju-86B-0, HB-IXI (c/n 860008) in 1936. It was soon damaged, returned to the manufacturer and replaced by HB-IXE. This machine became HB-IXA in 1939 when its Jumo diesel engines were replaced by BMW 132 radials. It crashed in July 1939. DC-2 HB-ISI is in the background here. Photo from: ETH-Bibliothek Zürich
