Johannisthal Flugplatz und Wiege der deutschen Luftfahrt Johannisthal airfield and cradle of German aviation      This page is just one of many on the Luftfahrtgeschicte.com website. It is written in German, but a reasonable machine translation is available directly from the Google page. It tells the story of "Johannisthal, the Cradle of German Aviation," and offers three beautiful pictures including one taken from the observation roof of the clubhouse pictured above. You can access the original article, in German, by clicking on the title above. If you need the English version, click on: English Version      If you read German, I highly recommend that you visit the homepage of this website. It appears to offer a comprehensive revue of the development of German aviation from 1783 to 1939. It includes some twelve subsections and many pages devoted to specific subjects.
