Timeless peace of history. A Hope for the future! | |
It's not a picture. it's a window on Germany of 1932. great !!! | |
I viewed this picture just as I was listening to "A Small Step for Mankind" by Two Steps from Hell. Simply amazing! :) | |
Extraordinary photo. | |
Only having seen a photo of this magnificent aircraft yesterday, via Clara Adams maiden voyages, the contrast between the different size planes, the spectators on the beach, an amazing feat!!! | |
At least with these aircraft it did not matter whether the landing was wet! | |
Regardless of location........as much viewer enthusiasm here as when you see the 'big bus' 380 for the first time !. Cheers Tim | |
This is a time machine! | |
This photo would make any aircraft museum in the world proud. It's nice to see people so absorbed by the aircraft, in a time when aviation was still a novelty for so many. | |
Magnificent,Amazing,Superb,Fantastic... | |
This photograph represents the history of flight by one of the greatest planes ever built. | |
Dornier X !!! fabulous... | |
A beautifiully composed photograph, and a wonderful period piece: just look at those 1930's clothes and hairstyles! The aircraft itself is very rare, and few technically good photos survive. Well done, the Dutch grandfather! | |
Qldies but goldies | |
Very nice. If you, or anyone, has more of this type of photo , we would love to see them. Please post. | |
Classic! | |
History never dies. Beautifull photo. | |
Yes, I agree too! I always stop when I see a plane, but imagine seeing this monster plane fly over! | |
Awesome | |
I agree the British guy; we all should go back to the age when people had astonishment capacity... In fact, to make possible that a heavy piece of metal can fly is something incredible. You never loose your capacity of say wow! | |
Great Photo | |
Incredible, fantastic! The photo breathes the spirit and the atmosphere of its time. | |
extraordinary depiction of the era, witness the beach garb | |
Super picture! | |
Fantastic vintage photo. I hope more of these get posted, showing vintage aircraft in day-to-day use. | |
The way aviation was and should be. Awesome! | |
Very impressive pic, i wish i would have had such things left by my great auntie. Even greater: Location is my hometown, although photo seems to have been taken off-airport resp. Lübeck-Travemünde (former seaplane port until WW2). | |
A wonder of first age of aviation ,back to the very begining | |
Classic photo, superb | |
This is what The Wonder Of Aviation is all about. Men, Women and children of all ages staring with fascination at what, at the time, must have seemed too magical to be believable. There's only a relatively small number of us now that feel this way when we see iron birds gliding through the air. This picture perfectly captures how we feel about our passion. - LuMan | |
Pretty cool pic! | |
Fantastic!!! Great Plane - great photo! | |
Enjoy the clearity of the photo and the poses of the fiqures in the foreground. composition delightful. | |
Great shot, at right place in right time! | |
The DO-X had 12 (yes, twelve) engines. | |
What a great and historic photo! I find it very humbling that people built and flew this awesome machine a half century before I was even born. Man, I am not worthy, lol. | |
That must be the rarest aircraft on the site. Must have been an impressive sight .. and sound - how many engines has it got?! | |
It is simply the most beautiful (old)photo that I have never seen | |
There is everything on that picture that make it so special and moving! | |
Fantastic.. | |
Suberb historic photo. | |
Best historical Photo | |
I wish you would post more great photos like this one. | |
...how i like this photo!!!,is one of my favorites, all that people seeing hipnotized the Do X, this shot remember the time when those machines and her designers where treated like semigoods. Albert. Barcelona | |
It's an excellent shot(!) and I would have given it five stars had it been a close up. I still have a plastic model at home and I've been in this aircraft several times before WW II, as a child, but by this time it was already a "museum". | |
This picture was not taken at Lübeck-Blankensee, but at Lübeck-Travemünde (not an airport). It is entirely plausible though that the Do-X was on its way to Blankensee, which is some 30km west of Travemünde. Nice picture! | |
Incredible picture. A great piece of history. | |
Piece of history ! So important ! Many thanks for this great picture ! | |
Unbelievable! This photo is unique! Must be one of the oldest on the site. | |
That's great. :) | |
