Carrying mail and one passenger from Hamburg on 14 March 1929, the crew could not find Cologne in fog and came down in a muddy field across the Dutch border, near Schaesberg, now part of Landgraaf. The worst damage was a broken propeller and the aircraft could be flown out two days later from a straw-covered strip. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)
