Ex D-288, this F13 - not a Junkers-Larsen JL-6 - was used by Junkers' sales agency in the USA. In April 1928 it was active in the relief operation for the stranded W33 D-1167 Bremen. The co-pilot was Hugo Junkers' eldest daughter Hertha or Herta who ran the agency and was an aeronautical engineer. Her younger brother Erhard was also on board as a mechanic. In May, Hugo Junkers himself, visiting America, came to Ford in Dearborn with Herta and Erhard and the Bremen crew. NC87 to CF-AMX.
