Seeking Weltluftfahrt 1950-12 (Silber-C awards)

[Steve Coates]

Hoping someone here can help. During the early 1950s Weltluftfahrt magazine published details of the various glider pilots awarded the Silber-C.

The 1950-12 issue published details of the recipients of awards numbered 27-55 as clearly this would contain a number of hugely capable pilots. I'd love to hear from anyone who can provide a scan or photo of this page from the magazine.

Please feel free to PM me. I have copies of the magazines containing the listings up to Nr. 878 (1952-05) so would also welcome contact with anyone else who has copies of any of the subsequent issues containing later listings.

PS - I am of course more than happy to trade my copies of these listings.

Perhaps this will be helpful.

Sadly not. I've already looked at this listing. The issue I'm after isn't part of this offer. I'd consider paying that price for the 1950-12 issue if postage to the UK was reasonable but as for the later issues, I'd be looking a bit less per issue for a job lot as I can't guarantee exactly which issues contain which listings as they weren't in every issue so it would be a bit of a gamble.

Steve, if you are interested in only one or two pages per issue (?) - have you tried to order scans from major German libraries ( German National Library, Deutsches Museum library etc) or German aviation museums?

Thanks for your response. No, not yet but it's a possibility I was considering as a friend is visiting the DM later this year.
