Also known as Hellmuth Hirth in this wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellmuth_Hirth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellmuth_Hirth) , Hirth (1886-1938) was a famous airplane designer and flyer. This postcard shows him with his Iron Cross presumably during WWI. He was killed in a plane crash in 1938.

You know it's one reason I share them here--digitization allows access to the image without having to actually be holding the piece of paper. One draw back is that digitizing may miss something. I may be sharing what you all can't come and actually touch and feel but I'm filtering my collection through my choice of interests or what I think others may find interesting. Who knows what I'm overlooking and failing to scan and post here?!? Slowly but surely I'm getting more and more items scanned and posted. |
