Junkers continued after the Great War with his all-metal corrugated designs, now aimed at civlian transport. This three-motor all-metal monoplane Junkers type G 24 appeared in 1925 and had an eventful career.
It started with a Swedish civil registration S-AAAP as seen here, in the service of Luft Hansa (a German airliner) and flying over the Netherlands, photographed by the Photographic Department of Dutch airliner KLM.
In 1927 it came on the German civil register as D-1020 eventually changing to D-URIS (named 'Hephaestos' being broken up in April 1939. A remarkable long life, partly because of the rugged all-metal building but surely also due to good piloting.
