1943000062North Africa. Good. 1943. Softcover. SUPER WORLD WAR II NORTH AFRICA ROYAL AIR FORCE HANDWRITTEN MEMOIR: "This is an exercise book" which it is stated in the first line of the first entry: 22/2/43 9 pages; "I bought this book yesterday and am just taking a few spare moments to jot down some of the happenings and events of the last few months. This book is not intended to be a diary as such as I have found that a day to day record of events becomes monotonous; but rather a medium that permits me to express myself on paper at thise inevitable times in the service when due to ones surroundings and situation there is nothing else to do. I shall also include such events as seem worthy of record and which I may like to preserve for the future in a clear cut form than memory alone provides. So I am now on the threshold of Operational Flying there should be much of interest and amusement which will be of interest and amusement." He then summarizes his Air Force Career and details what I assume is the "happenings of the last few months" as detailed at the beginning of this entry. This includes Scotland and Durban South Africa and Egypt. The rest of the journal is concerned with life and training in Africa and finishes abruptly on 21st July 1943. One week after he makes his first Operational flight over the Mediterranean.

19268395C1926. 1926. Querformat. ca. 8 x 108 cm. 4 Photographien. Original-Photographien mit weissem Bildrand Rückseiten weitgehend mit Beschriftung und Datierung. Geringe Gebrauchsspuren Photographien gut erhalten. Altersentsprechend guter Zustand. Die Photographien tragen rückseitig eine handschriftliche Beschriftung in deutscher Sprache. Dieser zufolge wurden sie im Jahr 1926 aufgenommen und zeigen den Bau zweier Funktionsgebäude. Alle Aufnahmen haben das selbe Format und Bildqualität zudem sind sie sämtlich in derselben Handschrift beschriftet. Gebaut wurden zunächst zwei Trockenhäuser Trockenschuppen. Zwei der Photographien zeigen den Bau des zweiten noch nicht fertigen Schuppens. Die anderen zwei Aufnahmen zeigen ein anderes Funktionsgebäude hier ist die Beschriftung wenig aufschlussreich. Gebaut wurde jedoch nicht mit Holz wie beim Trockenhaus sondern scheinbar mit einer Metallkonstruktion. Vermutlich handelte es sich hier um eine Plantage für Anbau und Verarbeitung von Kakao oder Tabak wo Trockenhäuser benötigt werden. Der Ort dieser ehemaligen Plantage geht nicht aus Beschriftung und Ansichten hervor. Jedoch stammen die vier Aufnahmen aus einer Sammlung die sich insbesondere auf Kamerun und die 'Gesellschaft Süd-Kamerun' konzentrierte. Kamerun war bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg deutsche Kolonie Deutsch-Kamerun später konnten einige der zuvor enteigneten deutschen Firmen die früheren Plantagengebiete zurückkaufen und weiter bewirtschaften. Es existiert also eine gewisse Wahrscheinlichkeit daß es sich hier um Gebiete in Kamerun und insbesondere in Südkamerun handelt. Die 'Gesellschaft Süd-Kamerun' besaß bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg große Plantageflächen in Ikassa Südkamerun. Die vorliegenden Aufnahmen tragen folgende konkrete Beschriftung wobei sich nicht alle Worte vollständig entziffern lassen: 18/V. 26 Trockenschuppen II fertig. I im Bau / 18/V '26 Mat. Trockenhaus / 26/8 '26 / .fabr. im Bau. Die Ansichten dokumentieren den Bau der zwei unterschiedlichen Funktionsgebäude. Sie stammen bereits aus der Zeit in der Deutschland keine Kolonien mehr besessen hat. Möglich jedoch ist daß es sich hier um eine jener Plantagen handelte die Jahre nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg zurückgekauft und durch dieselbe bereits im Kolonialismus tätige deutsche Firma bewirtschaftet wurde. Auch die scheinbar deutsche Urheberschaft und Beschriftung der Photographien legt dies nahe. Die beiden Aufnahmen zum Bau des Trockenhauses zeigen neben dem Gebäuderumpf auch die zahlreichen männlichen Afrikaner für den Bau der Holzkonstruktion. Historische Bilder mit Eindrücken aus Afrika nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg! unknown
