The Hungarian airline received its first two Ju 52s in 1936. HA-JUA was later named Vitéz Kaszala Károly. Detail of photo showing the Czech DC-2, OK-AIB. On the left is the tail of Koolhoven FK.50 HB-AMI. Photo from: ETH-Bibliothek Zürich

Roaring over Budapest! Üllői út is the avenue below. The Citadella on Gellért Hill is top left. Photo year is given as 1935 but that is rather unlikely since the pilot who is credited for it died in 1934. HA-FNC built by Manfréd Weiss in 1932, crashed in 1938.

First flown at Dessau on 4 September 1939, this Malért Ju 52 is seen wearing wartime red, white and green bands around the rear fuselage. To Hungarian air force in June 1942. The aircraft name means 'Valiant Dezső Szentkirályi'. He was a famous Hungarian World War 1 pilot who lost his life in the crash of Bristol F.2B Fighter H-MAEA near Szeged, Hungary on 2 June 1925.

The Paris Air Show used to be held indoors. The participation of the Nederlandsche Vliegtuigenfabriek, better known as Fokker, in the 1921 event was very unpopular among the French public. This did not stop Anthony Fokker from displaying the glider on the left, said to have been designed in Germany as a flying bomb, to be towed by a D.VII. This is unconfirmed, however. Note the model plane on top of the glider. Although painted in full KLM colours, the F.III here never flew for KLM. It was handed over to the Hungarian airline, Malért, here in Paris. H-NABA was alphabetically the first entry in the Netherlands register, but CoR number 23. Photo from: Amsterdam City Archives
