Eurasia Aviation Corporation was the first regular commercial airline in China. Established in 1930 as a joint venture between the Chinese government and Deutsche Luft Hansa, the airline was originally part of a German scheme to open a direct route from Berlin to Shanghai. The Soviet Union denied permission for Germany to fly over Siberia, however, and Eurasia was confined to domestic operation. The German Junkers 52 illustrated on this poster was put into service in China in 1936.
