FRIEDRICH CHRISTIANSEN
(1879 - 1972) World War I German ace credited with thirteen 'kills', Korpsfuhrer of the National Socialist Flyers Corps, or NSFK, commander of the Wehrmacht in the Netherlands. Convicted of war crimes. Great S.P., 9.75 x 6 in. b/w, an image of the 12-engine Do-X seaplane tied to a mooring. On verso, Christiansen writes in German: 'Do-X in November 1930 at an English marine flying station', adding his signature: 'Capt. Fr. Christiansen'. This original press photo was at one time careful cut vertically, probably for mailing purposes, and the pieces have been reattached with cello tape, which could be expertly removed if desired.
