Hello! I am new to the forum, and joined to find out what kind of plane this is, and in which years it was build? I found it in a developed stack of daguerreotype plate glass photos. Any idea? Your input is much appreciated.

Welcome to EAA Forums!
I'm thinking pretty strongly that it's a Junkers F.13 - the shape of the door, the unusual cross piece in the forward-most window, the large dorsal-fin vertical stabilizer, etc.
The best pictures I've found online are of models, but here's a couple of the real thing - see what you think:

And a couple of models:

Oh, and the F.13 first flew in 1919 (and it was remarkably advanced for that period), and, according to Wikipedia, was in production until 1932.Quote:

Thanks for the input Hal!
Good point! I love that movie, but it's tough to watch, knowing that it meant the end of Paul Mantz.Quote:
