HA-JUA Junkers Ju
52/3mg3e
(c/n 5523)
HA-JUA was the first Ju 52 delivered new to
Malert, in 1936. Like many European airliners
of the day, it carried its name ( 'Kaszala Karoly') between the wing
and the windows in letters
larger than
those of the airline itself, above the windows.
I have lost the provenance of this
photo, but it
was probably taken circa 1938. HA-JUA crashed on 17
January 1941 near
Nagyvarad Oradea, Hungary, 16 souls having perished. By which
time, of course, Hungary
was a member of the Axis powers.
