The R III light single-seater, designed by brothers Werner and Walter Rieseler, was produced mainly in Breslau (now Wrocław) by the Stahlwerk Mark conglomerate, originally a steel mill. About 50 R III aircraft are thought to have been built. This photo was taken at Devau airport in Königsberg, East Prussia (now Kaliningrad) where the Altpreussen flying school was a Mark dealer.

Built by Ben Jones around 1937. Damaged on or soon after its maiden flight. Acquired by White Aircraft, of Leroy, NY, which rebuilt it. The flying tiger artwork and Chinese characters were added when Chinese pilot Lee Ya-Ching used it to raise money for her homeland during its war with Japan. The S-125 was cancelled from the register soon after US entered WW2 as White concentrated on making components for gliders. Company closed after the war.

Prepared for a proposed flight from Tacoma, Washington, to Tokyo following the Pacific Rim by pilot Bob Wark and copilot Eddie Brown. 100 miles into the flight engine trouble forced it down at Lansdowne Field, Vancouver. A short hop to nearby Ladner Field resulted in the undercarriage being torn off, ending the whole venture. The aircraft is now preserved at the Owls Head Transportation Museum, Maine. Despite marked as a Fokker C.5 on the fin, it is a C.IVA. Photo from: Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum and Arts Society

The DC-3 was built in 1938. In that same year, Bachmann, Blumenthal & Co Flugzeugbau (BBF) began manufacture of aircraft parts at this airfield, taking over a Gotha plant. Nuremberg's commercial airport was then Marienberg, which took over from the old Fürth / Nuremberg - Atzenhof airport in 1933. The industrial airfield served as a temporary airport from 1950, until the modern airport (EDNN) opened in 1955. Photo by: René Gardi / ETH-Bibliothek Zürich

Paramaribo's smaller airport, Zorg en Hoop opened in 1952. PZ-TAG was registered in January 1958. It was one of two Aero Commanders registered to the Surinaamse Luchtvaart Maatschappij (SLM). Both crashed in 1959. PZ-TAG flew into a hill near the indigenous village of Paloemeu on 6 October due to engine trouble in fog. The two fatalities were SLM co-founder Ronald Kappel and Vincent Fajks, a Polish pilot who married a Surinamese woman. The Paloemeu airstrip (SMPA) which they helped constructing was named after Fajks. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

News photo focussing on the Thai prime minister, Marshal Phibunsongkhram. The Constellation served as Eisenhower's presidential aircraft, 48-610 Columbine II, from November 1952 until November 1954. The USAF loaned it to Pan Am for just two months in 1955, apparently specifically for the Thai leader's 'long trip abroad' to the United States and Europe. Aircraft under restoration as N8610 as of 2020. Photo by: Daan Noske / Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

This photo probably shows an accident that occurred after 8709 was disposed of by the RCAF. The accident is not in its RCAF records and it had in fact been stored pending disposal since 1945. 8709 was sold as CF-DUV in June 1946 and was cancelled from the register in 1949 as "written off". The caption on the photo says it was flying to Fraser Valley when it crashed on the dairy farm. Photo from: Revelstoke Museum and Archives

Forced down short of fuel 365 miles from Hawaii during the first attempt to fly from the US mainland (San Francisco) to Hawaii. On calm seas, it was decided to sail the aircraft, using improvised sails, to Hawaii. After 10 days and 10 miles offshore the PN-9 was sighted by a submarine, which towed it to Nawiliwili harbor. The crew recovered in hospital before they and the aircraft travelled by ship to Honolulu. Photo from: Digital Archives of Hawaii
