I think I can count at least five types, including a couple of rarities. Higher res would be interesting!

Add to that the Junkers G.38 in the center of the pic - a real rarity.

Looks like there may be a few single engine Ju52s as well - scraping up everything when it comes to transports. Between that and the lack of strategic bombers, the beginning of the end of the Third Reich....

Enjoy the Day! Mark

G.38 D-APIS (with only a few months to live!)
at least one Ju 86- cool!
Ju 89 (either the V2 or V3)
Ju 52/3m
Perhaps a W 33 / 34
Rh 104?

There's a He 111 on its belly on the far right. As for the Ju 89, I think this is a Junkers Ju 90, a few of which were used by the luftwaffe during Operation Weserubung.

Hercules130, for Rh 104, do you mean the Siebel Fh 104?

Not to argue but the Ju89 V2/3 s were used in Operation Werserubung after serving as Ju90 protos Good call on the Siebel, Rh was a typo on my part- Fh is what I should have typed. I think I see a 111 too.

Sure would be nice to see a high res!

hercules130,

Thanks. A quick google on Unternehmen Weserubung+Luftwaffe units provided this list: http://www.nuav.net/weserubung.html

According to the list, the seven transport units, K.G.z.b.V 101 to 107, operated Ju 52/3m's and Ju 90's. You may well still be correct regarding the Ju 89, though! According to 'Wrongipedia', http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_Ju_89 the pair of Ju 89's were scrapped in 1939.

There may also be a Fw 200 Condor somewhere in the picture!

Regards,

Jan

They are all personnel transports.
