Junkers F.24

Deutsche Lufthansa

At the origin, the aircraft was built with three engines but several modifications have been made and the aircraft was converted to a Junkers F.24kay. Operated by Deutsche Lufthansa, it was christened 'Düsseldorf'. The crew was engaged in a test flight when the engine caught fire while cruising at an altitude of some 1,500 meters. Pilots reduced their altitude and attempted to make an emergency landing when the aircraft crash landed in a field near Glindow. The aircraft was destroyed and both crew members were killed. With the same construction number, this aircraft already crashed on April 18, 1931 near Gex, France. At this time, the aircraft registered D-896 was a Junkers G.24ko version.
