Junkers Ju 86 in Spanish Service
The German manned Condor Legion trialed four Junkers Ju 86D-1 bombers in Spain from February 1937. After flying several missions, one was shot down by Republican fighters. A replacement for the lost bomber was sent from Germany. However, two of the Ju 86s were lost in landing accidents resulting in the last two being sold to the Spain Nationalists. These were operated until at least the end of the Spanish Civil War.
