Superior Cover Design, German Aviation, 1920

JF Ptak Science Books   Quick Post

This is a survivor of some sort, found at the bottom of a box of German aviation pamphlets–I’m sorry that it is in this condition, but at least there is some of it that remains, because the design is quite striking.  It comes in the 24th year of the publication Luftfahr(t), Deutsche Luftfahrer Zeitschrift, and published in 1920.   It is just the cover of one issue, and I expected to see a fuller image of the thing online thinking it not to be so uncommon, but I couldn’t find any, which I thought unusual.  And so I share this rag-tag copy.
