The W34 Junkes replaced the W33, The first W-34 arrived in Colombia in 1929 through the Colombian-German Air Transport Society (SCADTA) with the purpose of increasing its air fleet and improving service. As a result of the conflict with Peru in 1932, the national government ordered the transfer of seven aircraft to military aviation, where they operated with numbers 401 to 407 in missions of transporting passengers, cargo, mail, evacuation, relief, liaison and reconnaissance, for which it was necessary to adapt landing gear with wheels or floats. At the end of the conflict, the W-34s were assigned to the Tres Esquinas Air Base in Caquetá and Palanquero in Puerto Salgar.
