The abortive East German jetliner often called the Baade 152 had its origins in Junkers jet bomber projects and the 150 bomber, designed by German engineers detained in the USSR. Development took place at Flugzeugwerke Dresden - note that the company name is not VEB, which only meant People-Owned Enterprise. The first flight was on 4 December 1958 but DM-ZYA crashed on 4 March 1959 on only its second flight. The second prototype DM-ZYB flew just once in 1960. Note that the East German flag was identical to the West German flag until 1959. Photo from: SLUB / Deutsche Fotothek This photo was added on 14 March 2024, and has since been viewed 1354 times. |
