Zeitschrift für Flugtechnik und Motorluftschiffahrt (usually abbreviated to Z.F.M.) was among the leading German-language technical periodicals devoted to the rapidly developing fields of aviation, airship design, aerodynamics, aircraft construction and propulsion during the formative years of flight. Published by R. Oldenbourg of Munich and Berlin, the journal became an essential forum for engineers, researchers, manufacturers and aviation enthusiasts at a time when powered flight was transforming both technology and society. Richly illustrated throughout with photographs, technical drawings, diagrams and plans, Z.F.M. documents the evolution of aviation from the pioneering pre-First World War era, through the wartime expansion of aircraft technology, and into the sophisticated aeronautical research of the interwar years. The journal carried articles by leading specialists and reported on developments in aerodynamics, aircraft performance, airships, engines, testing facilities, and aviation science, An invaluable primary source for the history of early aviation, aircraft engineering, Zeppelin and rigid airship development, and German scientific and industrial achievement in the first decades of the twentieth century. A substantial and historically significant reference work, essential for collectors of aviation literature, researchers in the history of flight, and specialist institutional libraries. Part of the famous Brian Cox aviaiton library.
