Their Postcards And Pictures

This book, the second in a planned three-part series, looks at the remainder of Sanke's aviator cards numbered 544-685. Sanke, Liersch and NPG postcards featuring German World War I aviators have been collected, traded, and reproduced in many publications over the years, but no author until now has focused on determining when, where, why, and by whom these pictures were taken, or when and why they were issued as postcards. This work pursues the answers to those questions, and while doing so unfolds like a detective story. At its heart is the vast collection of supportive photographs, including some of the original images behind the postcards - many have rarely, if ever, been viewed by the modern public.

The Imperial German Eagles in World War I (Vol 2.) - Seite 374 Lt. Ulrich Neckel shakes Hands With Lt. Franz Büchner, Jasta 13's CO, who eventually ended the war with 40 victories. The Fokker D.VII that Neckel is in does not appear to be his. In fact, the pattern of light and dark sqares that is evident to the right is reminiscent of the green and white checkkerboard seen on the D.VII Büchner flew in November. (see VanWyngarden, Fokker D VII Aces of World War I, p.39). Perhaps this was one of Büchner's earlier D.VII's that he let Neckel take up for a quick hop. (Note that Neckel is not wearing a fight coat). (photo courtesy of Helge Dittmann - www.flieger-album.de) |
