04/30/2019. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "First flown by Junkers pilot Fritz Harder on February 11, 1935, named Erich Pust the aircraft was put in service by Lufthansa on the south Atlantic service.

In 1939 the aircraft was transferred to the Luftwaffe and was used as a training aircraft by the BFS 5 (Blindflugschule, instrument flight school). On February 20, 1941, the aircraft crashed near Kirchstetten, ca. 25 mls (40 km) west of Vienna, Austria. Seven of the occupants, including the pilot Lieutenant Robert Daum and four trainees, were killed, the aircraft was destroyed."
