    Swastika plane formation photo!

    Hi there. I've just received a curious photo from what it seems to be an air exhibition in the III Reich. The airplanes make an swastika in the air. I post it because it's not a commonly seen image. Really impressive how that symbol was present almost everywhere!

      Flight

      This actually was a fairly common event for special days and parade flyovers etc. Those look like He 51s or Arado 62s so it dates most likely to the mid to late 30's. I have another photo in a German book of a flyover dated 30 April 1939.

          Up-side down? Do you think so?Mmmmm. Maybe yes...Why do you think so? The shape of the planes maybe? Let's see the photo turned 180ยบ.

            Better ...

            That's better. I have about 26,000 hours of flying time and flew competition aerobatics for 24 years and have judged competitions for three decades. I could tell at a glance.

              The planes look like bi-planes...bi-planes? Does that mean they
              are "switch hitters?"

                Ok Mike, that's enough for me to believe you!

                And yes, the planes seem to be bi-planes, that's right.
