Descriptionof Aviation in Wiener Neustadt (1909-1912). History on Postcards
Manufacturer

The Wiener Neustadt airfield is the cradle of Austrian aviation. Here at the Steinfeld with its weather-resistant ground, ideal conditions prevailed. Designers tested their designs, spectacular competitions took place and world records were flown. The Emperor arrived and the military pilots presented themselves to the public for the first time. In the period from 1910 to 1912, the aviators and aviation pioneers triggered enormous enthusiasm; on fine days, tens of thousands of spectators came to the airfield.

Naturally, there was a huge demand for memorabilia, especially postcards. This incidentally also resulted in an accurate documentation of all events at the airfield. In years of meticulous work, the author has assembled a very comprehensive collection of more than 400 postcards from the Wiener Neustädter Flugfeld. They document its tumultuous development in all its facets and convey an immediate impression of this great period of aviation that was just beginning. The photo studios and their working methods are also presented in this comprehensive work.
