This is the very rare February 1943 issue of Der Flieger, “the Oldest German Monthly Aviation Magazine” with the propellor and aerodynamic nose of a Messerschmitt Me109 on the cover. The technical Nazi aviation magazine also has a remarkably beautiful line-art center-spread of a three-quarter front view the Messerschmitt Jagdeinsitzer Me109 with all the important parts numbered and called out in German (shown above).

The 9-1/4 x 12-3/8 inch, 36-page Nazi aviation magazine has heavily illustrated chapters about the Dornier Do 217 Sturzkampfflugzeug (research, testing, manufacture, parts, etc.), Argus airplane engines, tail-less airplanes, news about British military airplanes (Spitfire IX, Hawker Hurricanes, De Havilland Mosquito, Avro Manchester), US Air Force planes destined for the RAF (Curtiss P 40, Consolidated B24 Liberator, Martin 187 Baltimore Vought-Sikorsky V 156) and an interesting article about the use of man-made moulded materials in the manufacture of airplane bodies in the United States.

Der Flieger was published monthly by Verlag Walter Zeuerl in Munich. Its last World War II issue was published in September 1944 but the company restarted publication in January 1950. This 80 year old World War II issue with Me109 cover is complete. It is in used condition, exactly as shown at the top of this USMBOOKS web page. No odor.

This 79 year old issue of Der Flieger has aviation book reviews and wonderful advertising by Messerschmitt, Henschel Flugzeugbau, Junkers, IG Farben, Bückner, Fock-Wulf Fw 190, Gothaer Waggonfabrik, Telefunken, Blohm & Voss, Mauser, Rohm & Hass Plexiglass, BMW, SKF, Askania, and manufacturers of propellors, airplane instruments and tools, etc.
