With 155 of 156 silver gelatin cigarette card photos neatly mounted all w/ brown printed borders 1 tipped-in raised embossed bronze-foil reproducing the Naval Airshipmen’s Memorial in Wielhelmshaven 1 colour map text maps photo plate of Hermann Goering colour plates preserving original tissue guards. Photo-illustrated flexible covers red spine red lettering cover art of Graf Zeppelin flying over a steamship minor edgewear slight scuffing minor wear & bumping at lower right corner still a VG- exemplar. First edition of this follow-up cigarette card collectors photo album for the around-the-World voyages of the Graf Zeppelin LZ 127 along with opening chapter devoted to World War I Zeppelin operations. This album focuses as well on the 1930-1931 Arctic Voyages across the Polar Ice Archangel and over the Soviet Union including aerial views of Leningrad as well as traveling over Norway Sweden Denmark and Iceland -- the Polar flight was largely paid for with approximately 50000 stamp collector letters; the Mediterranean flights to Rome North Africa Palestine and back; as well as airship trips to Switzerland Austria Spain Italy and Germany from 1929-1933. One very nice series of images capture the opening of the transatlantic trips to South America 1931-1932. This album also chillingly represents the first ties of the Graf Zeppelin as a Nazi propaganda tool soon after the National Socialists came to power in 1933 with the colour plate here illustrating the new Nazi Government markings and the flight over Nuremberg for the notorious May 1 1933 Nazi May Day celebration. From 1931-1936 the Graf Zeppelin would cross the South Atlantic 136 times as part of the first regularly scheduled nonstop intercontinental airline service in World History. Following the 1937 Hindenberg disaster the Graf Zeppelin only made one additional flight June 18 1937 and was later broken up in March 1940 at the orders of Hermann Goering.

A collection of ten aerial photographs taken during the First World War

réf. 118696Very Good. All are gelatin silver prints on thick stock; eight are oblique photographs 207 × 154 mm; two are vertical views approximately 165 × 220 mm; the larger ones are slightly creased at the corners one of them a little more so; the others are in excellent condition. All images are captioned in the negative. All eight oblique views carry the same date 25 June 1918 preceded by 'A3 AEO 62°' ranges from 110 to 121. Place names on them are Hamel Hamel Wood Somme Accroche Wood Tailloux Wood and Vaire Wood. The vertical images are dated 3 May and 27 June 1918 and carry a larger set of alpha-numeric references commencing 'A3 AE A 715' and '35 AE B 929' respectively. All ten prints have the signature 'Capt Sexton' in indelible pencil on the verso. Digitised service records indicate the signature is that of Eric James Sexton of the Adelaide suburb of Hindmarsh; he enlisted on 14 August 1914 shortly before his 21st birthday and was appointed to the 10th Battalion with the rank of lieutenant. He was wounded at the landing at Gallipoli promoted to captain the following day and later invalided back to Australia disembarking on 6 August 1915. By January 1916 he was declared fit again for active service and re-embarked in April for England where he performed various training roles. On 14 February 1917 he transferred to the Australian Machine Gun Training Depot with the rank of major. He embarked for Australia on 12 March 1918 arriving in Melbourne on 22 May 1918. Accordingly Sexton did not serve in France and was a major not a captain by the time these photographs were produced. We cannot explain the anomalies but will let the photographs speak for themselves. Significantly they show the area where the important Battle of Hamel was fought on 4 July 1918. 'Hamel was a big battle in miniature involving the experimentation of tanks and small ammunition drops as part of a broader all-arms offensive. While a coordinated offensive was not a new approach to warfare Hamel represented the culmination of three years of learning and innovation on the Western Front testing an all-inclusive approach to mobile warfare. The flawless execution of the operation resulted in Hamel becoming a model for future operations on the Western Front. In his account of the event Monash famously wrote that "the perfected modern battle plan is like nothing so much as a score for an orchestral composition where the various arms and units are the instruments and the tasks they perform are their respective musical phrases' Ellen Cresswell: 'The Experiment - Innovations at the Battle of Hamel' Australian War Memorial website. 10 items. unknown

1928réf. 5011096Baltimore: n.p. 1928. First Edition. Soft cover. Good. Nearly folio printed gray-brown wraps. 40pp. Illus. We note condition first. There is a full page ad several page in which appears to possibly serve as a title page. The top one-half is missing. The bottom half says "By THE FLYING CLUB OF BALTIMORE and THE AIR CORPS MARYLAND NATIONAL GUARD." However another full page present lists officers of the club staff of the Maryland Nat'l Guard Air Corps pilots & the airport commission. Alsotwo leaves are detached & have been archivally reattached with minimal. but sufficient application. Notwithstanding we still grade this as a good copy. The front cover has a lower corner crease 1" & there is a wrinkle at the top. This is really quite a remarkable program with portraits of important military people ads descriptions of competitive events: National Guard Race Parachute Jump Pursuit Race Maneuverability Contest Mixed Relay Race Parachute Jump 2nd heat. There are short articles such as "Where To Aeronautics" "Guardsmen in the Air." Air traffic rules are printed as are requirements for various levels of certification. The ads of various aircraft companies some showing an airplane are striking. Last page is list of "Meteorlogical Stations" of the U. S. Weather Bureau in dozens of cities. One page is written with joke and humor "None Such Flying Club Wishitwas Kansas." There is a full page photo showing "The Gang listening to CAPT. HAROLD W. HINDS" with several pilots enjoying the moment. Full page portrait of Hon. Albert C. Ritchie Executive Department Annapolis who wrote a full page welcome.
