I think than Wien is German for Vienna Austria, and Graz is a City in SE Austria. Grea Picture!

I think Snautzer had correctly read and understood these two names, his interrogation was about the third one...

I suppose we must read "Klagenfurt" - a little more SW from Graz.

Yes ??

You are probably correct on all points, I agree it is probably Klagenfurt that makes sense as it is SW of Graz and a natural next stop. Looks like it is operating with Österreichische Luftverkehrs AG (ÖLAG) at the time the picture was taken. Again great picture of early commercial passenger service. Imagine booking a flight at that time, up to 4 passengers, I am sure the luggage weight was carefully restricted, open cockpits for the crew, enclosed cabin for the passengers.
I think it would take very adventuresome passengers to book those flights, as opposed to taking a train. The F13 cruised at around 100mph, probably a little less than that for economical cruise settings. The trains ran at around 40-50 mph but with many stops. I wonder how much faster the F13 was compared to the rail system? What the price difference was?

The tail emblem is the Slovak Republic marking used from 10 September 1939 until 15 October 1940 although it still might be found on the Slovak aircraft in 1941. Together with the national markings there were applied the German crosses. It can be noticed on the port bottom wing undersides.
