Prototype of the Junkers K47 two-seat fighter, first flown at Dessau on 10 October 1928 and then transported to the AB Flygindustri subsidiary in Limhamn, Sweden, by train. Small numbers of K47s built for Soviet Union, China and German army flying school in Lipetsk, Russia. This airframe went to the DVS flying school in 1934 as D-2012, later D-IGER.

According to some sources, the IAR-23 touring aircraft was originally conceived as a fighter. The sole example was used by Gheorghe Bănciulescu, a pilot who had both his legs amputated after a crash in 1926. He made a Bucharest - Vienna - Paris flight in 8 hours and 40 minutes and it looks like the photo was taken at LBG.

'The Duce departing for Rome with his trimotor.' This was the prototype of the SM.72 bomber and transport, first flown in 1932. Military serial, MM219. The type did not find favour with the Italian air force. After brief use as an Italian government transport, the plane was flown to China to be presented to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, and supposedly soon 'rescued' him and his staff. Six more S.72s were delivered to China to be used against the Japanese. Italian postcard.

The Vellox airliner was developed from the Vickers Vellore, a cargo and mail aircraft which in its original form was single-engined. Comfortable accomodation for ten passengers was provided but Imperial Airways only used the sole Vellox as a nocturnal mailplane while testing Lorenz blind landing equipment. It crashed after a few months in service in August 1936. Four-blade propellers are fitted here.
