Item Description
Original Items: Only Set of Two Available. Here we have two very nice 1943 dated Luftwaffe "Calendars", which are really much more handbooks than anything else. Both do indeed have calendars on the later pages of the books, but the rest of the pages are full of information important to any member of the Luftwaffe.
The first book is titled Deutscher Luftwaffenkalender 1943 (German Air Force Calendar) on the cover and title page, and has the subtitle Das handbuch der Luftwaffe (The Air Force Handbook) on the title page as well. It looks to be named on the inside of the cover and title page, though we are not able to make out what it says. The book has a dark blue cloth cover with the Luftwaffe Eagle on it, and measures approximately 3 1/2" x 5 1/2". It shows some staining but is in very good condition.
The second book is titled Luftfahrt=Taſchenkalender 1943 on the cover and title page, and has a blue cardboard cover bearing an early war style "Droop Tail" Luftwaffe Eagle. The rear of the cover shows the publisher information, and the book itself measures approximately 4" x 5 5/8". IT shows use and staining, and the cover definitely has some missing parts and degradation, but overall it presents very nicely.
A lovely set of Luftwaffe calendar handbooks from WWII! Ready to research and display!
The Luftwaffe was the air force of Germany prior to and during World War II. Luftwaffe styles of uniform and rank insignia had many unique features between 1935 and 1945. By decision on February 26, 1935, the Luftwaffe was to be officially the third branch of the Wehrmacht as of March 1, 1935. The new Luftwaffe was faced with the problem of uniforms, as they wanted a uniform distinct from those of the other two branches of the Wehrmacht (Heer and Kriegsmarine) and also wanted a clear differentiation in dress of military and civilian flyers.
