FLIEGERTRUPPE
Ernst Udet (1896 - 1941) - a personal photo album as military pilot in 1915 from Udet's possession
Brown leather cover with contemporary gold embossing "Militärflugzeugführer Ernst Udet 1915." dimensions 32 x 24 cm. Circa 160 photos from the August/September 1915 period of the First World War. Udet and his comrades in uniform in front of and inside their machines as well as aircraft shot down by them (including by Unteroffizier Böhme) etc. Also four separate photos and five letters/documents on the provenance of the album (Fritz Lämmermann Kurt Schnittke). Slightly damaged in places. An extremely interesting album relevant to the personality of this highly decorated fighter pilot and later Generalluftzeugmeister for the Wehrmacht.
