An impressive huge airliner, but without future in design. Boing 247, Dc3 and FW-200 Condor demonstrated already a couple of years later in which direction the airliner development should go.
I often watch this video. It´s part of my families history. My granduncle, Otto Brauer, was one of the two pilots of this plane. Thank you for this great video.
Thank you for this great video about the Junkers G 38. I´ve got a special relationship to this plane. My granduncle, Otto Brauer, was the pilot of the Junkers G 38 with the official number 2500. He often visisted my parents and told them from the time, when he was flying the G 38. And he also told them about the bombardement of the airfield Athen/Tatoi where his G 38 was destoyed. So thank you for your great video, which keeps the plane and the pilot Otto Brauer in memory
If they had a hundred of these, the Battle of Britain could end differently. This goes for the transport airplanes. And as for the Bf-109E, as Saburo Sakai said: "If the Luftwaffe had 1000 Zeroes, they could win (the Battle of Britain)." Here he refers to Bf-109E's short range that made many of the Luftwaffe pilots to check their swimming skill.
With its twin decks, enclosed engines, and wing-seated passengers the G.38 was the only real plane to resemble the fantasy airliners imagined by illustrators of the 1920s and 30s (except for that clunky box-rudder). The postwar XC-99 was the only other plane I know of to LOOK the part of the Airliner of Tomorrow. Thanks for this rare footage.
I just read about this great airship and googled it just to see still pictures. what you have done is far beyond what mere still photos could reveal. Thanks so very much for your post.
Hi. I saw a very wonderful plane at the beginning of one You-Tube documentary about the expedition of Ernst Schäfer to Tibet (around 1937). It was very similar to this one. (2 or 3 chapters in english. But I could never locate it again.
This would be a great, cool 4-engine model! I'd want to work from plans, though (Ed Packard I am not.) Check out the Weintraub's Syncopators (1930 Berlin Jazz band) touring by air on Jozef
Sterkens yt site. A Dornier Merkur, a G-31 and the D-2000 G-38! There's a .004 Alclad that has some spring to it which was used for garden borders. If I can ever track down a source, I'll make some 1/8 Fords for customers
and when you see my Trimotors you'll know its time to brainstorm and whip up some G-38s.
Tis is a really good video. Keep up the good work Bomberguy!

It appears that the two outboard propellers are twin bladed while the inboard props are four-bladed. Why was that?
chloe7829 2 years ago
@chloe7829 This is a little late to answer your question but it would be because the outboard engines were not as powerful as the inboard engines.

Surely, in 1929, a four-engined all-metal monoplane was showing quite clearly the future of design?

There were only 4 years between the G-38 design and that of the 1st modern airliner DC-2, and only 8 years to that of the Focke Wulf FW-200

Well, You' re right. Initially there were two versions, the first one was later rebuilt to the "doubledecker" as well.
