Essential reading for anyone interested in the history of aviation

Junkers F 13 - The World´s First All-Metal Airliner
Authors: Lennart Andersson, Günter Endres, Rob J.M. Mulder and Günther Ott

In 1919 a small six-seater aircraft lifted off from an airfield in Dessau in Germany on its first flight. Designed and built in less than six months in a devastated Germany immediately after the First World War, its birth could not have been more difficult. It had demanded of its designer Professor Hugo Junkers, creativity, invention and much subterfuge against almost impossible odds.
Yet, within five years, this unassuming aircraft was serving three-quarters of all air routes within Europe, and went on to play a pioneering role in the development of a fledgling air transport industry in many parts of the world.

Luftwaffe and other military use detailed as well!

I already placed my order...

12 £ for shipping from UK to Europe! :o I hope they will offer it via Amazon or Christian Schmidt.

Distribution from the UK is the best option. Swedish and Norwegian postage rates, which are the alternatives, are much higher. Sweden to Europe is EUR 19 to 28 depending on type of packing.

I hope that at least Christian Schmidt will sell it.:)

An alternative would be bookdepository.com, based in the UK, which charges no shipping fee at all.
