Early Luftfahrerschein für Flugzeugführer (Pilot’s Licence) – Dresden, 1936

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.
