1910réf. A38279Pucheim Germany. Very Good. 1910. Other. This is a group of four small photographs 3.5" length x 2.5x height possibly on salted paper of airplanes flown at the Munich Air Race of 1910. The reverse of the photographs give basic descriptions including the place -- Puchheim and the Aviators. The grpou of for prints come with an autograph handwritten statement from the owner giving them to a friend for his aviation collection. The aviators include: Emil Jeannin Dr. Otto Lindpaintner and Gustav Otto. While Emil Jeannin is listed as one of the five pilots engaged for this race the other three aviators were apparently running in the same circles / groups and likely brought their planes with them. "The Munich "Akademie für Aviatik" was founded in 1909 mainly by members of the Royal Bavarian Automobile Club. Its main aim was promoting aviation particularly by flying dirigibles and other flying machines. This included building an airfield with all necessary installations but also creating a library and a museum and the awarding of prizes for competitions. Suitable grounds for an airfield were found in the village of Puchheim 15 kilometres west of central Munich where 76 hectares of moorland was bought and leased. A modern and completely equipped airfield with a two-kilometre race course was built. It was decided to celebrate the opening of the airfield by organizing an "aviation week" of five days in the end of May starting less than a week after the Berlin-Johannisthal spring meeting. Five pilots were engaged. Emil Jeannin Baron Pierre de Caters and Ellery von Gorrissen came directly from the Berlin meeting where the two former had been very successful. They were accompanied by Belgian Jules Tyck on a Blériot and local Munich man Simon Brunnhuber on one of the Antoinettes bought by Walther Huth who would later start the Albatros company." from Wikipedia; B&W Illustrations . unknown

From the publisher: "This book is the story of a group of military pioneers who were intent on using their experience and knowledge to develop a new training paradigm for fighter pilots. As a Vietnam veteran and Phantom F-4 pilot Col. Gail Peck call-sign "EVIL" had been disappointed with the level of training offered to US fighter pilots. He was determined to ensure that US fighter pilots were unbeatable in the air particularly against their Cold War adversaries flying the already legendary MiG fighter jets. Working with the support of General Hoyt S. Vandenberg Jr. and under conditions of the upmost secrecy the CONSTANT PEG program was launched with Peck as the original "Red Eagle." This fascinating unknown history was first revealed in Steve Davies' acclaimed Red Eagles: America's Secret MiGs but this book is the insider's perspective complete with never-before published anecdotes and photographs revealing how Peck battled bureaucracy and skepticism to ultimately establish the premier fighter pilot training center. Along the way Peck explores many of the central questions surrounding the project: why did the combat Air Forces of the USA find themselves in need of a major revision in their approach to air-to-air combat training How did they secretly build an airfield to clandestinely conduct air-to-air combat training using actual MiGs as the adversary training platforms What was it like to be a Red Eagle pilot or maintainer and what were the major challenges they faced on a daily basis What did the USA get out of the program in terms of a return on investment Was it worth it and where do we go now Despite operating for a decade no single pilot ever revealed the secret nature of the training until the program was eventually declassified in 2006. Now for the first time we can read about what it felt like to build the airfields source the MiG aircraft and finally take them to the skies above America itself all in the quest to establish the USAF as the premier fighter jet force the world over."
