Lucky Strike cigarette ad on back cover provides a truly classic and timeless example of a mis-timed advertisement. Consider that the great Wall St. stock market crash of 1929 occurred mere days before this issue hit the newsstands. Beneath the caption "An Ancient Prejudice has been removed" appears a clenched fist labeled as "American Intelligence" breaking a heavy chain. Top left a paranoid miser stacks his gold by candlelight. Top right a wealthy couple visits their palatial bank. Text beneath miser reads "Hoarding gold with the fanatical zeal of the miser has vanished. American Intelligence sponsors thousands of banking institutions to which the individual (i.e. the wealthy couple) safely entrusts his wealth." The message is clear. Readers should put their trust (and money) in the banks, and shun gold. This issue was likely printed just as the Great Crash occurred, causing countless financial institutions to go under - and destroying even more individual fortunes. (The ad goes on to claim that cigarettes have similarly overcome the prejudice against them.) A truly stunning work which deserves to be preserved and reflected upon in this age of limitless fiat currency printing. Average wear with three-inch crease to lower corner of back cover. Suitably framed and mounted, this ad will make a superlative office display for any precious metals executive. Magazine

"(Schacht) became one of the directors of the Reichsbank in 1916 and in 1923 became currency commissioner for the Reich. After his economic policies helped reduce German inflation and stabilize the German mark, Schacht was appointed president of the Reichsbank. He collaborated with other prominent figures in economics to form the Young Plan to modify the way that war reparations were paid after Germany's economy was destabilizing under the Dawes Plan. Though on March 7, 1930, six months after the beginning of the Great Depression, he stepped down from the position of Reichsbank Chairman, but returned on March 17, 1933 after Hitler's rise to power." - from wikipedia dot org.

1978233051978. Continental Airlines Flight 603 disaster photographs documenting the burned wreckage and structural damage of the DC 10 runway overrun at Los Angeles International Airport on March 1 1978 one of the most consequential American aviation accidents of the late 1970s and a major catalyst for changes in tire safety standards rejected takeoff procedures and aircraft evacuation systems. Flight 603 a Continental Airlines DC 10 10 scheduled from Los Angeles to Honolulu attempted to abort takeoff after multiple tire failures near decision speed on a wet runway; the aircraft overran runway 6R at LAX the left main landing gear collapsed beyond the pavement fuel tanks ruptured and a major fire engulfed the underside and left side of the aircraft during evacuation. The NTSB recorded 2 deaths and 28 serious injuries in its formal report while later accounts place the eventual death toll at 4 after additional passengers later died from injuries sustained in the crash.<br /> Photo archive of 14 color snapshot photographs each approximately 3.5" x 4.5" Los Angeles International Airport California March 1978. The photographs show Continental Airlines McDonnell Douglas DC 10 10 N68045 after the accident resting heavily fire damaged on the runway and adjacent overrun area. Multiple images focus closely on the burned underside of the fuselage where large sections of aluminum skin have been completely burned away exposing the aircraft's internal rib structure wiring insulation and lower cabin framework. Other views show extensive scorching along the left side of the aircraft blackened and partially melted fuselage panels around the wing root and landing gear area collapsed structural sections beneath the passenger cabin and debris scattered across the wet runway surface. Several photographs widen outward to show emergency and recovery operations surrounding the aircraft including personnel service vehicles cranes and towing equipment positioned around the destroyed DC 10. One image records the full profile of the aircraft from a distance emphasizing the scale of the burn damage extending across much of the fuselage exterior. Together the photographs document not merely the existence of the accident but the specific physical consequences of the runway overrun and post crash fire: ruptured lower fuselage sections exposed aircraft structure burned cabin undersides and the recovery environment at LAX immediately after the disaster. <br /> Flight 603 became an important case study in late twentieth century aviation safety because the accident linked tire failure runway conditions aircraft stopping performance and evacuation survivability within the emerging era of mass deregulated air travel. The NTSB investigation led to recommendations intended to "significantly reduce the incidence of tire failures during takeoffs and rejected takeoffs" while later FAA and industry reforms addressed tire testing standards takeoff performance calculations and the durability and fire resistance of emergency evacuation slides. These photographs preserve the material evidence behind those institutional and engineering changes documenting the burned airframe and structural destruction that transformed Flight 603 into a major reference point in modern commercial aviation safety history.

1957233541957. De Havilland Vampire jet photographs documenting French Air Force training accident inspection and air base control at Meknès Morocco in the years immediately following Moroccan independence with direct evidence of how Base École 708 recorded aircraft damage runway incidents and jet operations within the shrinking French military presence in North Africa. French military personnel are identifiable not through portraiture but through the administrative system embedded in the material itself: repeated verso stamps reading Section Photo 21/708 Meknès dated from 1957 to 1959 and technical annotations that turn the group into an official working record rather than informal aviation imagery. The historical force of the archive lies in that function. Meknès served as a major French fighter training center the de Havilland Vampire formed part of its early jet instruction program and the base remained active until its dissolution in 1961 placing these photographs within the last phase of French air force operations in Morocco after France recognized Moroccan independence in 1956.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of approximately 27 silver gelatin photographs approximately 4.5 x 3.5 inches each Meknès Morocco 1957 to 1959. The images center on multiple de Havilland Vampire aircraft marked with large fuselage letters including TT UA RD RG RE and UM photographed from the nose wing cockpit tail and runway line in a methodical sequence. Several prints isolate impact evidence and structural damage: one close view marks "traces de frottement" on a crushed nose section another labels "cockpit avion abordeur / plan gauche avion abordé" and others identify "vue générale" "vue 3/4 arrière" and "axe de la bande" showing that the planes were being recorded for inspection orientation and incident analysis. Additional photographs show grounded jets in grass beside the field aircraft parked on the tarmac in rows hangar exteriors and broad runway views with service vehicles nearby. The versos carry dated Meknès section stamps penciled numbering and occasional reference notes from French military photographic and cinematographic services preserving the bureaucratic chain by which the images were produced filed and cross referenced.<br /> <br /> The archive belongs to the first generation of French jet aviation in North Africa. The Vampire was among the earliest jet fighters used by the French Air Force and Meknès was one of the key training sites where pilots moved into jet instruction before the school later shifted to newer aircraft and eventually left Morocco. In that setting aircraft photography was not decorative; it was part of the operational machinery of flight training maintenance and accident inquiry. These prints preserve that machinery at the moment when French colonial authority in Morocco had formally ended but French bases and training institutions still operated on Moroccan soil linking jet modernization to decolonization and military retrenchment. Written notes and official stamps throughout; light handling wear from use otherwise well preserved. Overall good condition. unknown

1941235251941. Northwest Airlines Flight 5 crash archive documenting one of the most deadly commercial aviation disasters in the carrier's early history pairing operational views of Northwest's Douglas airliners with contemporary evidence from the fatal October 30 1941 crash near Moorhead Minnesota. Flight 5 was a scheduled transcontinental Northwest Airlines route traveling from Chicago toward Seattle through Minneapolis Fargo Billings Butte and Spokane when its Douglas DC-3A-269 registration NC21712 encountered severe icing and poor visibility during approach. The aircraft plunged to the ground in fog and freezing conditions killing twelve passengers and two crew members. Captain Clarence F. Bates emerged as the sole survivor. The subsequent Civil Aeronautics Board investigation concluded that dangerous ice accumulation on the wings played a critical role in the disaster making the crash an important chapter in the evolution of commercial aviation safety during the final weeks before America entered the Second World War.<br /> <br /> Archive of four silver gelatin photographs and a contemporary newspaper clipping photographs approx 3.5" x 5" to 5" x 7" circa 1941. The photographs capture Northwest Airlines aircraft in active service during the same period as the disaster. One image shows a Northwest airliner standing on a frozen airfield with registration number NC21711 visible on the tail and prominent "Northwest" and "U.S. Mail Air Express" markings along the fuselage. Another view depicts a woman posing beside the company's large winged emblem with mail and express service markings visible near the tail section. A third photograph records ground operations beneath a Northwest aircraft as personnel stand near a baggage cart marked "Shell" illustrating the everyday routines of America's growing commercial airline network. A final image looks outward from above an aircraft wing toward the horizon placing the viewer inside the world of prewar air travel. The accompanying newspaper clipping dramatically contrasts these routine scenes with aerial views of the burned wreckage of NC21712 near Moorhead identifying the disaster the fourteen fatalities the role of fog and icing and Captain Bates' remarkable survival.<br /> <br /> The archive place the optimism and expansion of early commercial aviation beside the harsh realities of flying in an era when weather forecasting radio navigation aircraft de-icing technology and long-distance passenger service were still developing. Created less than six weeks before the United States entered World War II the archive captures Northwest Airlines at a pivotal moment when passenger travel air mail contracts and express cargo routes were rapidly connecting the Midwest Northern Plains Rocky Mountains and Pacific Northwest. The juxtaposition of aircraft operating normally in service with contemporary documentation of Flight 5's destruction transforms the group into more than a simple airline archive-it becomes a visual record of the risks ambitions and technological challenges of American aviation on the eve of wartime expansion.<br /> <br /> Light handling wear mild curling toning and creasing to the newspaper clipping; photographs remain very good. A tightly related aviation archive combining identifiable Northwest Airlines aircraft visible registration numbers airline operations and one of the carrier's most significant prewar disasters. unknown
