Frankfurt Rhein-Main Airport In The Early 1960’s by Axel J.

In the 1950s and early 1960s Frankfurt Rhein-Main Airport was a busy place dominated by the sound of propliners as the Douglas Commercial products from DC-3 up to DC-7, Convairs or Lockheed Constellations. With photos from the Axel J. Collection we have the chance for a look back into 1961, when the props had their high-time and the early jetliners waiting on the doorstep, pioneering the new propulsion.

Unfortunately the photographer of the following historic pictures is unknown, all photos marked as “copyright by Sammlung Axel J.” / “Axel J. Collection”
