The second of the two Junkers G38s, photographed in flight near Dresden. The largest landplane in the world for some time, the G38 must have provided a fantastic view for the lucky passengers seated in the blended wing. D-2500, later D-APIS, entered Lufthansa service on 1 July 1932. It was eventually used by the Luftwaffe as a transport and destroyed in an air raid in Athens on 17 May 1941.

Flown to Australia and on to Japan by Francesco de Pinedo, with his mechanic, Ernesto Campanelli, then back to Italy between April 21 and November 7, 1925. De Pinedo made several other major long-distance flights over the next eight years. He was killed on September 2, 1933 when his Bellanca crashed on take-off at New York while attempting a non-stop flight to Baghdad. The building behind the S.16ter is one the Naval Stores erected beneath the Kangaroo Point cliffs in 1886. Today a heritage site. Photo from: State Library of Queensland
