Vliegtuigen - DDR: boeken - historie en modellen

Geschichte der Luftfahrtindustrie der DDR

The society "Gesellschaft zur Bewahrung von Stätten deutscher Luftfahrtgeschichte", represented by Hans-Dieter Tack and Ullrich Unger, gave the final impetus to the completion of the book. Impressed by the detailed stories about the GDR aviation industry, an interesting variety of topics was suggested:

- The story of the first German jet-powered airliner, the 152, symbolizes the fate of the GDR aviation industry.
- The successful series production of the medium-haul airliner IL-14P was abruptly stopped to make room for the 152.
- The jet turbines developed in Pirna were among the best in the world, but with the end of aircraft construction in the GDR, the chance to be internationally competitive was lost.
- The attempt to build small aircraft failed, with only one aircraft constructed, realized by the Society for Sport and Technology.
- Despite the demise of the GDR aviation industry, restored gliders are flying again, accompanied by stories and records of the GDR glider pilots.
- The Delphin airship and the corrugated propeller drive marked a potential renaissance, but remained limited to research by enthusiasts.
- An internationally successful parachute manufacturer in Seifhennersdorf not only survived the end of the GDR aviation industry, but also the end of the GDR itself.

Hubschrauber, Transporter und Schulflugzeuge der NVA

The National People's Army (NVA) provided the armed forces of the GDR from 1956 to 1990. In both the West and the East, it was assumed that a conflict would initially develop on the territory of the two German states, and the GDR armed forces were accordingly well equipped by the Soviet Union.
The air force was no exception and the GDR had everything from the An-2 to the Mi-24 combat helicopter in its arsenal.

Interflug - Die Fluglinie der DDR

The state airline of the GDR was founded in 1958 and until its dissolution after German reunification in 1991, Interflug was also responsible for all other commercial aviation activities of the state, such as agricultural aviation, air traffic control and the operation of airports.

This book is being published to mark the 30th anniversary of the cessation of operations - packed with rare images and stories to browse through from another era that many people today can no longer imagine.
Rare detail and interior photos convey the spirit of the times. A real treat for fans of Soviet aircraft.

Kampfflugzeuge der NVA

Until the late 1980s, both in the West and the East assumed that a possible conflict would initially develop on the territory of the two German states.
The air force of the NVA was accordingly well equipped with material from the Soviet Union. From the very beginning, the air force's inventory included aircraft such as the MiG-15 and later the MiG-21, right up to the ultra-modern MiG-29.

Segelflugzeugbau in der DDR: Ideen und Projekte – Nachbauten und Neukonstruktionen

In the GDR, aircraft construction was always shrouded in mystery after it ended in March 1961. Those interested in history could only learn about the short history of the GDR aviation industry from older editions of "Flügel der Heimat" or other aviation publications. These publications were characterized by the enthusiasm of the aircraft manufacturers and the enthusiasm of the press for the ambitious project that was intended to demonstrate the superiority of socialism.

The sudden and unexplained end of the aviation industry was surprising and painful. Officially, the defeat was kept secret because it was a setback for socialist development.

Only a few people were lucky enough to personally experience aircraft construction in the GDR, especially glider construction. Johannes Höntsch and the author were among them. They decided to research the past and to honor the achievements of the people who worked for their ideas. Thanks to the willingness of others to share their experiences and make their documents available, this book was able to come into being.

Tragödie 152: Aufbau und Absturz der Luftfahrtindustrie in der DDR

De publicatie behandelt de korte luchtvaartgeschiedenis van de DDR, die - zoals de titel *"Tragedie 152"- aangeeft - met een mislukking eindigt. Het boek is geschreven door de ingenieurs Lothar Brehmer en Jochen Werner, die de laatste fase van de vliegtuigontwikkeling in Dresden zelf meemaakten. Zij geven een objectieve analyse als onderdeel van de recente industriële geschiedenis.

Vijftig jaar later blijft het onderwerp actueel, waarbij mythes kritisch worden bekeken. Het verhaal loopt van de gestuurde ontwikkeling bij Junkers in Dessau via werkzaamheden in de Sovjet-Unie na 1945 tot het einde van de vliegtuigbouw in Dresden.
Met nieuwe bronnen ontstaat een goed onderbouwd beeld van deze episode.
