EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic Junkers Ju52-3m D-AHAL, piloted by Otto Bernert, making its approach to land at the historic Croydon Airport in the late 1930s. Registered in October 1934, this particular Junkers Ju52/3m, with the manufacturing serial number 5034, was a proud addition to the Deutsche LuftHansa (DLH) fleet during this era. The aircraft's distinctive design and powerful presence were a common sight during the interwar period, revolutionizing air travel with its ability to carry large numbers of passengers and cargo over long distances. However, the serene scene in this photograph belies the turbulent history of D-AHAL. During World War II, this aircraft was impressively drafted into the Luftwaffe, the German air force, and ultimately met its demise in 1944. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the versatility and enduring legacy of the Junkers Ju52-3m, which played a significant role in both civilian and military aviation during the 1930s and beyond. This photograph, taken circa 1939, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of aviation during the interwar period. The Junkers Ju52-3m D-AHAL, with its rich history and iconic design, continues to captivate and inspire aviation enthusiasts and historians alike.
