Photo Comment

Most probably the start of the massive 1938 German Air Rally. A reported 390 aircraft took part. In the left row are Fw 44 aircraft including D-EOQA and D-EGDU, third, which registration is listed as a Bü 131. Rangsdorf, south of Berlin, was opened as a sport airfield for the 1936 Olympics. The Bücker plant was located here. Lufthansa moved its flights from Tempelhof to Rangsdorf during WWII.
