fly Deutsche Lufthansa to the productive people exhibition, Germany, 1937

Plenty of swastikas in this one.  This shows D-DLAG as a bimotor, but another artwork from the same era, below, shows it as a Ju 52 trimotor.

    I don't have a fleet list to flag but I suspect the D-DLAG wasn't a real registration. DLAG is an old acronym for Deutsche Lufthansa AG.

    Bit of further checking. At this time the first letter of the four letter group was -A for multiengine, -U for single engine and -O or -I for single engined 'travel' aircraft. -E and -I were for sport aircraft. The Ju-52's all had -A registrations.
    They were the DC-3's of Lufthansa, with about 80 in service at the outbreak of World War 2.
    The top aircraft looks like an He 111.

    Thanks for the information, obviously D-DLAG was a generic rego for publicity.
