Our plan for this Study of Early Airmail Conditions in Germany and Danzig - in tghe early 1920s was
to gather information from as many sources possible. Than came the Story.
As we got into the depth of Neil Smart's book, FROM LILIENTHAL TO LUFTHANSA, it was quite a revolution to see that nearly everyone in Germany was affected by the Versailles Treaty.
The airline industrien was one of the hardest hit; heavIly pinched by the Treaty were most aircraft construction campanies. Restrictions added stress to their plans to develop a new commerce for Germany's flagging economy, and for multi-engined aircraft in the planning stage, such as the 'Bauverbot and the Dornier Do-X'.
Their plan for a better future for Germany was soon to clash with a group in Munich who mistakenly advocated an empire that will lasst 1.000 years.

*- At the right, three modes of delivering the mail are represented allegorically by the LZ-127 GRAF ZEPPELIN, the Do-X Flying Boat, and the Bodensee, representing transportation by sea.
