    thank you very much for the wonderful old movies! I'm a glider pilot and flight instructor here in Germany. It is very intersting to see how gliders and other motorpowered planes have been flown in the past!

    Thanks a lot for your work and passion!

    Happy new year 2009!

  • Many thanks for this amazing Video!

  • Can anyone provide links to plans of ANY of these gliders? Looking for an interesting way to kill myself. Just kidding, but seriously... plans?

  • Wonderful collection of films. Thankful.

  • @lupo631 I did not read it on Wikipedia, I already knew. What gliders do you fly and instruct on?

  • @goatface1000 as you can read at the Wikipedia

  • @lupo631 His son used to fly at Lasham. The Nazis could not tolerate a Jew being the best glider pilot

  • @goatface1000: I know that.

  • @lupo631 Kronfeld had to leave Germany because of Nazi persecution. He was in the RAF during the war.

  • Excepcional video, mucha emoción al ver un Condor soltar las ruedas, tuve la suerte de volarlo en AZUL ARGENTINA..

  • nice film
