A scarce and attractive original Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps (NSFK) Flugbuch belonging to Roland Mann, documenting his glider flight training from the late pre-war period through the Second World War.

The Flugbuch was opened on 9 September 1938 and belonged to Roland Mann, born on 7 June 1923 in Pforzheim, later residing in Hamburg. It retains the original portrait photograph, official NSFK ink stamp, handwritten signature, and numerous instructional entries covering several years of flight training.

Mann began his training on 4 December 1938, successfully passing his:

• A Glider Pilot Examination – 21 August 1940
• B Glider Pilot Examination – 15 May 1941
• C Glider Pilot Examination – 20 June 1941

The flight log contains over one hundred individual flight entries recording aircraft types, launch methods, flight durations, training exercises, and instructor confirmations. Flights were conducted with several well-known German training gliders including the Grunau Baby IIb, Grunau 9, SG-38 Schulgleiter, and DFS Zögling, providing an excellent record of NSFK glider instruction during the war years.

Of particular interest are official stamps from:

• NSFK Sturm 8/15
• NSFK Reichsgruppe Nord – Fliegerhorst Hamburg
• Segelfluggruppe des Fliegerhorstes Flensburg

The Flugbuch remains in very good original condition with normal period wear from use. The photograph, stamps, handwritten entries, examination records, and flight log are all well preserved, making this an excellent research document.

Original NSFK flight log books with photographs and extensive wartime flying records are becoming increasingly difficult to find and are highly desirable pieces documenting Germany’s pre-war and wartime pilot training system. This is an outstanding example suitable for collectors of NSFK, Luftwaffe training material, aviation history, and Third Reich documentation.

An original Deutsches Rotes Kreuz (DRK) Verwendungsbuch issued to Richard Johann Thum, born 7 December 1886 in Köln, Rhine Province.

An original and scarce pre-war Luftfahrerschein für Flugzeugführer (Pilot’s Licence) issued during the early years of the Third Reich. These official Luftamt pilot licences are considerably harder to find than standard Wehrmacht identity documents and make attractive additions to any Luftwaffe or aviation collection.

This licence (No. 335) was issued to Ernst Schmidt, born 25 April 1912 in Chemnitz, who was employed as a Kraftwagenführer (motor vehicle driver). The document was issued by the Luftamt Dresden on 19 November 1936, complete with the original official ink stamp, period photograph, and handwritten signature.

The licence authorizes the holder to operate aircraft in the A2 (Land) category. The remaining pages intended for extensions and renewals remain largely unused, preserving the document in its original state.

The document remains in good original condition with normal signs of age and handling. Please study the photographs carefully as they form part of the description. Swastikas have been denazified with inkt. One staple in the document.

A scarce and desirable pre-war German aviation document that is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain.

An original Luftfahrtforschung Wien (Aeronautical Research Vienna) factory identification card (Werksausweis) belonging to Maria Mühlbradt, complete with its original period photograph and housed in its original metal protective holder.

The identification card records Maria Mühlbradt, born 15 April 1923, who worked as a Buchhalterin (bookkeeper/accountant). According to the entries, she entered employment on 2 March 1943, with the card being issued on 15 June 1944. The reverse contains annual validation fields for 1944–1949, together with factory regulations concerning the use of the identification card.

The document bears multiple official factory stamps and remains protected inside its original metal holder, which has preserved the paper remarkably well. Personal identification documents from Luftfahrtforschung Wien are seldom encountered and represent an attractive piece of German aviation industry history.

A desirable addition for collectors of Luftwaffe, German aviation, industrial, or civilian wartime documents.
