Canadian Airways Junkers W34

The Junkers W34 continued the line of all-metal Junkers aircraft going back to the Junkers J 1. With its good flying characteristics and rugged construction, the Junkers W34 was considered by many to be the best bush plane of the 1930's and early 1940's. Only nine were imported to Canada due to the high cost of its metal construction and the heavy tariff imposed on German aircraft. Canadian Airways was the primary Canadian operator.
A Junkers W33 with a water-cooled engine flew the first east-west transatlantic flight in 1928. It landed on Greenly Island in Labrador after a 37-hour flight. The W34 was widely exported and up to the end of World War Il was the German Air Force's standard instrument and navigation trainer.
