EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sleek and innovative design of the Baumer B III Alsterkind, a rare and intriguing aircraft from the early days of aviation. Built around 1927, this particular example is believed to be D-638, which is distinguished by its large rectangular rudder. The Baumer B III Alsterkind was a two-seat biplane, featuring a wooden fuselage and wings, and powered by a Mercedes D.III engine. With its streamlined form and elegant lines, this aircraft was a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of its time. Two examples of the Baumer B III Alsterkind were built, with D-480 and D-638 being the most well-known. This photograph, however, strongly suggests that it depicts D-638 due to the distinct rudder shape. The Baumer B III Alsterkind was not a commercial aircraft, but rather a labor of love for its creator, Ernst Baumer. It was designed primarily for sport and recreational flying, and its unique appearance and impressive performance made it a favorite among aviation enthusiasts during the late 1920s. The Baumer B III Alsterkind represents an important chapter in the history of aviation, showcasing the artistic and technical advancements of the era. Its timeless design continues to inspire and captivate aviation enthusiasts and historians alike, making this photograph a valuable addition to any collection.
