Built at Limhamn, Sweden, Oct.1925 and operated initially by Flygindustri as S-503. To DLH as D-903 Jan.1926. Shortly after taking off from Croydon en route to Berlin via Amsterdam on 6 Nov.1929, it encountered thick fog and turned back to Croydon, the Captain descending to maintain visual contact with the ground. It flew into tree tops on a hill in Marden Park, near Godstone, Surrey, crashed and caught fire. Of the occupants, six were killed and three injured, one of whom died of his injuries later that day. Only the co-pilot and one passenger survived.

Formerly D-CIAS and originally T.2B-144 for Spain. The real D-ANOY indeed has a history worth remembering. In 1937, it successfully completed a route probing flight to China and back, despite a forced landing after engine failure and the crew being caught in war actions in China. On 2 December 1938, enroute from Berlin to Damascus, it crashed in bad weather close to Wien-Aspern while diverting after a missed approach. The crew was badly hurt, the passengers hardly and all but the aircraft survived.

Do 18 civil prototype, presumably photographed near the factory on Lake Constance. Named Aeolus by Lufthansa, the mailplane was catapulted by a DLH vessel off Horta, Azores and flew to Bermuda on 11 September 1936, continuing to New York the next day. Lost in July 1937 after an emergency landing in the Atlantic due to engine trouble.

Nordmeer on the Heinkel catapult. The photo gives a good view of the inverted gull wing of the Ha 139 and a good idea of its relatively small size. Its heavy Jumo diesel engines penalized performance and only 500 kg of mail could be carried. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Instiution

The prototype of the Ha 139 is launched from Schwabenland, one of several catapult ships operated by Lufthansa for its transatlantic airmail service. These vessels did not refuel seaplanes in mid-ocean, but were stationed in ports in Gambia and Brazil to provide assisted take-offs. In 1937-1938 two ships were based in Horta, Azores, and in Port Washington, New York City, to support a fast trial service across the North Atlantic. Almost the same photograph was made by Rudy Arnold, proving this is off City Island, New York. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

If you have been spotting at FRA, you may have noted the name of the village Zeppelinheim. The airport opened to aircraft and airships in July 1936 but its two huge airship hangars were already demolished in 1940. The Fw 200 Condor, D-ADHR Saarland, dates the photograph in July 1938 at the earliest. The second Ju 52 is D-ALUN Kurt Wintgens and the leftmost aircraft is a Ju 86 which can only be D-AJUU Vogelsberg. Photo from: Fortepan

The L73 was a largish, luxurious biplane airliner equipped for night flying. The eight passengers seats could be converted to four bunk beds. Two L73bs, D-960 and D-961, were delivered to DLH and employed on a Berlin - Königsberg night service from 1927. They were upgraded to L73c standard with different engines in 1928 but D-961 crashed on 28 May 1928. Two more planes, construction numbers 10118 and 10119, were built for DLH in 1930 and sold to Bulgaria in 1931. Photo from: ETH-Bibliothek Zürich
