<b>1088. CLAUDIUS DORNIER </b>(1884 - 1969) German aircraft designer who worked with Zeppelin, designed first all-metal airplane, noted for his bombers that wreaked havoc during the Blitz. Rare S.P. 9" x 11 1/2" b/w, a pensive close-up boldly inscribed in German to pilot Clara Adams with a reference to his famous flying boat the Dornier X and a Rio-New York flight. Sold with a related S.P. 8" x 10" b/w, similarly inscribed <b>M. DORNIER</b>, presumably his son (mounted, a few wrinkles with only fair contrast). Also included are 5 T.L.S.'s, 6pp. 4to., 1931, all in German and related to the Dornier X, obviously with much technical detail. Overall very good.<b>$200-300</b>
