FrankingUnused
Price$99.00
Original German Empire Real Photo Postcard (RPPC) of pioneer aircraft at Flugplatz Johannisthal (Johannisthal Airfield, outside Berlin), which was Germany's answer to America's Kitty Hawk, and served in its time as the center for European development of manned flight in all its forms; Johannisthal memorabilia is it's own sub-specialty and sought-after by many flight collectors. This postcard was produced by the Sanke corporation, which was also a pioneer in its own right, specializing in photographs of aircraft and pilots, who became the superstars of their day, and heroes during WWI. Very early unnumbered Sanke card, with only Willi Sanke's handstamp reverse.
