NINE ORIGINAL NATIONAL SOCIALIST FLYING CORPS BOUND
|
This is a lot of nine rare Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps Lehrhefte, heavily illustrated NSFK educational softcover books dated 1939 in their original Third Reich binder. The title page of each publication states it is for service use only. There are a total of 534 very well-illustrated pages.
The nine 6 x 8-¼ inch Lehrhefte cover subjects such as the history of aviation, the organization of the Wehrmacht (German Armed Forces), the structure of the Luftwaffe, aviation law, air traffic, aviation communications, aviation instruction, airplane studies, meteorology, airplane engine studies, and navigation.

These 1939 Lehrhefte have been protected during the last 8+ decades by their original 6 x 8-3/8 inch Luftwaffe blue binder with the big NSFK insignia on its front cover. The thin rawhide straps that made it possible to add additional volumes are original. While the binder cover is somewhat faded, the covers of the individual 85 year old NSFK booklets are not.
Published for the NSFK-Korpsführer by Dr. M. Matthiesen & Co. of Berlin, these nine (out of ten) rare Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps Lehrhefte are in excellent condition. The original owner, Karl Joachim Grieser, stamped his name and address on the title page of each volume. No odor.
