A metal twin-float monoplane airliner designed by Karl Theiss, the V.61 was identical to the V.59 except that the BMW IV engine was replaced by a Bristol Jupiter radial. The sole example, D-925 never really served with LFG's airline, Luftverkehr Pommern, as it was built for the 1926 Deutscher Seeflug competition in which it was wrecked on 28 July. It is seen wearing race number 3, presumably on the beach in Warnemünde. Photo from: ETH-Bibliothek Zürich This photo was added on 23 November 2021, and has since been viewed 676 times. |
