F 13 in Teheran, Persia

A postcard posted in Düsseldorf,
Germany July 1926 produced by the Junker's Company

Detail from the postcard showing
an early Junker's Ju F13 aircraft
The two Ju F13s were
known as "Gilan" and "Mazanderan"
The funds to buy the two aircraft from Germany
in 1921 (date
needs verifying)
had been raised by the people of
the Caspian Sea,
Gilan-Mazanderan Provinces in northern Iran,
following an appeal by the Iranian Prime Minister
Reza Shah Pahlavi (later to become His Royal
Highness, the Shah)
(Can anyone identify the officer on the horse ?)

Havilland DH-4 aircraft. These were produced in Russia |
