1920 - 1929 lacking 1927 with a lose copy of 1928  An extensive run of one of Germany's most important interwar aviation journals, documenting the remarkable recovery and development of German aviation in the decade following the First World War. Officially associated with the Deutscher Luftfahrer-Verband (German Airmen's Association), Luftfahrt evolved from the celebrated nineteenth-century aeronautical journal Illustrierte Aeronautische Mitteilungen and became the principal publication for Germany's aviation community during the restrictions imposed by the Treaty of Versailles. Profusely illustrated throughout, the journal provides contemporary coverage of virtually every aspect of aviation during the 1920s, including civil aviation, commercial air transport, gliding and soaring, airships and ballooning, aircraft construction, aero engines, aviation clubs, flying competitions, and the rapid technical developments that transformed flight during the interwar period. Of particular importance is the publication's detailed record of Germany's post-war aviation revival. During a period when powered flight faced significant restrictions, Luftfahrt chronicled the growth of gliding, aeronautical research, and sporting aviation that would ultimately lay the foundations for Germany's later prominence in aircraft design and engineering. A substantial and increasingly scarce archive of original interwar aviation literature, rich in technical content, photographs, illustrations, and contemporary reporting. An important resource for collectors, aviation historians, museums, and institutional research collections.
