Photo Comment
Gerd Achgelis in front of his Fw 44, then a top notch aerobatic aircraft. He came third in the first world aerobatic championships in Paris in June 1934 and then travelled to America for an aerobatic event at the 1934 National Air Races in Cleveland. The reg is confirmed as D-EPIZ. Nazi Germany had two flags at this time and the swastika flag was worn on the port side of the tailfin.
