Photo Comment

The Rohrbach Roland was one of the first commercial aircraft produced for Deutsche Luft Hansa, which was seeking to re-equip with modern types. The Roland, which entered service in 1927, was a successful design, and six examples were operated by the German airline. In 1929 it was followed by the more powerful Roland II. Both types were high-wing tri-motor monoplanes and were the brainchildren of Adolf Rohrbach.
