About this video
Newly written documentary and explanatory film in 28 chapters. Three specifically assigned historical or museum photographs accompany own spatial models of timber construction, spars, adhesive joints, connections and school flight. A short historical context and the proven regional case of Suhl-Goldlauter complement the technical presentation. No complete overview of all GDR airfields. Own calculation examples are not performance, construction or operational data of the instructor. Original manuscript with AI support, synthetic German voice and subtitles. The film is an independent publication without recommendation of the mentioned museums, archives or photographers.
