Original German WWII 1940 Dated NSFK National Socialist Flying Corps Pocket Guidebook

Original Item: Only One Available. The National Socialist Flyers Corps (Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps; NSFK) was a paramilitary organization of the NSDAP Party that was founded 15 April 1937 as a successor to the German Air Sports Association; the latter had been active during the years when a German air force was forbidden by the Treaty of Versailles. The NSFK organization was based closely on the para-military organization of the Sturmabteilung (SA). A similar group was the National Socialist Motor Corps (NSKK).

During the early years of its existence, the NSFK conducted military aviation training in gliders and private airplanes. Friedrich Christiansen, originally a Generalleutnant then later a Luftwaffe General der Flieger, was NSFK Korpsführer from 15 April 1937 until 26 June 1943, followed by Generaloberst Alfred Keller until 8 May 1945.

This is an excellent condition Dienst-Taschenbuch des NS-Fliegerkorps (Pocket Service Book of the NSFK), showing the NSFK "Icarus" emblem on the top front cover, with a 1940 date at the bottom. Measuring 4 1/8" x 5 5/16", the book was intended as a pocket reference for members of the NSFK, and begins with a calendar, after which there are pages of reference material. There are 80 pages in total, and this would definitely make a great translation project.
