Vintage 4 x 6 German postcard photo, featuring a head-and-shoulders photo of the glider in his cap and goggles, beautifully signed in fountain pen. A few trivial spots of soiling, faint pencil notations in another hand on the right border, and show-through and light impressions from the 1933 postage marks on reverse, otherwise fine condition.
