Accident at Johannisthal, the old mecca of German aviation. It was alternatively called Adlershof ('eagle's yard') after another adjacent Berlin neighbourhood. DLR were based here between 1919 and 1922 when they moved to Staaken. Before the allocation of D numbers from March 1920, the airline's aeroplanes got a fleet number, still worn here in small print. The aircraft is a LVG C.VI Kabine although the cabin of the converted reconnaissance plane is crushed here. D-14 had another crash near Hamburg on 8 May 1922, but was repaired, and seems to have survived with successor airlines Deutscher Aero Lloyd and DLH until 1928.
