This website offers references to historical articles, reports as well as journals on aviation, aeronautical engineering, flight technology and aviation history. A focal point of any aviation history research in Germany is the famous journal Flugsport. This aviation magazine, which was edited by Oskar Ursinus in the period from 1909 to 1944, contains everything that concerned general, civil and military aviation.
Particularly during the pioneering period of powered flight, i.e. at the beginning of the 20th century, the magazine Flugsport printed detailed reports on the designs of aircraft and engines of the time. This applies in particular to the period from 1914 to 1918, World War I, as well as to the period from 1939 to 1945, World War II, because at that time special attention was paid to the technology of Germany's Air Force (Luftwaffe) as well as enemy aircraft.
In addition to airship and balloon flight, the magazine Flugsport proves to be an inexhaustible source in connection with the beginning of commercial aviation as well as the rise of air sports, especially gliding, powered flight and model flight.
