History and Use of the Junkers W-34HI

The Junkers W-34 was a multi-purpose German transport and trainer aircraft designed in the second half of the 1920s. Widely used by the Luftwaffe as well as airlines in many countries, it became one of the symbols of the interwar period and the early years of World War II. The featured W-34HI variant was captured by the British Royal Air Force (RAF) during the Second World War and used as a so-called "hack" – a liaison and training plane. The RAF's use of such machines illustrates the wide-ranging practice of employing captured equipment by the Allies for auxiliary and test roles between 1939 and 1945.
