EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Contrast in Flight: The Junkers G-38 and a Two-Seater at Dessau Airfield, 1929" In this evocative photograph, the colossal Junkers G-38 passenger plane stands proudly on the tarmac of Dessau Airfield, its wings stretching an impressive 45 metres across. The image captures a moment in aviation history, as this behemoth of the sky dwarfs a diminutive two-seater aircraft nearby. The Junkers G-38, a marvel of engineering and innovation, was a transport aircraft that could carry up to 18 passengers and had a maximum speed of 130 km/h. Its size and capabilities were a testament to the rapid advancements in aviation technology during the late 1920s. Beside the Junkers G-38, a two-seater aircraft appears almost insignificant. Yet, it holds its own charm and allure. The image captures four privileged passengers, seated in the wings of the smaller plane, taking in the breathtaking view of the expansive airfield and the towering Junkers G-38. The contrast between the two aircraft is striking, highlighting the progression of aviation from small, two-seater planes to large passenger aircraft. The photograph serves as a reminder of the excitement and wonder that surrounded early aviation and the sense of adventure that came with exploring the skies. Date: 1929.
