Berlin Johannisthal airfield - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

I am trying to find out any information on the airfield at Berlin Johannisthal. I know that Henschel had a factory there, but that is all and there is very little info on the net.
So if anyone can help, I would be grateful.

Thank you

Also the Buecker Werke was situated there from october 1933 until they moved to Rangsdorf south of Berlin, in the autumn of 1935.reg.

Hi, Matzos,

SCHMITT, G. (1995): Als die Oldtimer flogen. Die Geschichte des Flugplatzes Johannisthal. Aviatic Verlag. Oberhaching

might be the source you want. It's mainly about the history pre WW I though. Don't know if the book is still available.

HTH

Thanks for the information. I have some WW2 imagery of the airfield on which you can see aircraft on the field.

I was trying to find out what the base was used for.
