Aircooled VW South Africa

Judging by the 'corrugated' look of the plane's inside, I'd say it's a Junkers JU25?

You mean JU52?

And it has a air-o-plane tyre on the bonnet.

Balloon tyres, for use in the African desert

That's an amazing pic. It looks like they've removed the kubel's fenders and wheels to squeeze it in there. And I love the four soldiers sitting in the kubel with their life jackets on.

May have been in one of these babies...Gotha Go 242




"The Go 242 was designed by Albert Kalkert in response to a Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM) requirement for a heavy transport glider to replace the DFS 230 then in service. The requirement was for a glider capable of carrying 20 fully laden troops or the equivalent cargo.

The aircraft was a high-wing monoplane with a simple square-section fuselage ending in clamshell doors used to load cargo. The empennage was mounted on twin booms linked by a tailplane. The fuselage was formed of steel tubing covered with doped fabric. The flight characteristics of the design were better than those of the DFS 230.

Cargo versions of the glider featured a hinged rear fuselage loading ramp that could accommodate a small vehicle such as a Kübelwagen or loads of similar size and weight."
