Second of two M19s built crashed during landing in Augsburg, piloted by Werner von Langsdorff. Pilot sustained heavy injuries, and it was not until 1936 that he was given the opportunity to fly again by special permit.
There might be some uncertainty about the date, since the same pilot flying with Ernst Petersen set speed record for light aircraft in Bäumer B IV Sausewind (D-1414) on 4 October 1928.
