Much appreciated Nick.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

All the Rangsdorf photos are pre-WW 2 and taken in 1935-36.

Seems aircraft from Britain, Czeckoslovakia, France, Greece and the Netherlands participated
beside Germany of course.

What is puzzling is the lack of competition numbers. Anyone who can pin-point the date and the
occasion?

Cheers
Stig
