Bungee launch of a glider, 1937

From beneath the wing, a boy sits strapped into the open seat of the glider while others hold the tail; ahead, two teams of shirtless boys run down the slope, stretching the elastic launching rope, and the glider is catapulted off the hill and sails out over the wide plain. The glider carried the name Richthofen 5, after the fighter ace of the First World War, whose name the regime gave to its first new fighter wing in 1935.
