The Albatros L 72 was a German transport aircraft of the 1920s, designed to carry newspapers between German cities for Ullstein Verlag; a single revised example was built for the Hamburger Fremdenblatt. It was a conventional single-engine biplane with unstaggered wings of equal span, and the first German commercial aircraft to have leading edge slots and trailing-edge flaps. Its wings were all metal with fabric covering and interchangeable, and the thickened centre section of the upper wing held the fuel tanks. Behind the pilot a cabin held a conveyor-like device for up to sixteen parcels of newspapers weighing 10 kg each, which an attendant or the pilot could drop. The variants were the L 72a, two L 72b for Ullstein and the L 72c Albis for the Fremdenblatt.
