EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the Junkers Ju86A1 D-AXEQ, a remarkable aircraft operated by the German airline, Lufthansa, during the 1930s. Known as "Brg," this particular Ju86A1 was a long-range transport plane, modified with extra fuel tanks fitted both in the fuselage and externally. On August 22-23, 1936, this windowless aircraft embarked on an unprecedented non-stop flight from Dessau, Germany to Bathurst, in what is now South Africa. Covering an impressive distance of 3,603 miles, this daring journey set a new record for long-distance aviation at the time. The Ju86A1's sleek design and advanced engineering capabilities made it an essential asset for Lufthansa's expanding air transport network. This photograph serves as a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of aviation pioneers during the interwar period.
