Glider students reading the wind gauge, near Trebbin 1937

Against the open sky three young men stand round a cup anemometer mounted on a post; a bare-shouldered youth points at the dial and explains, a student in round spectacles grins, and in a close view the bespectacled young man studies the needle while the cups spin above it. The wind decided whether the school could fly at all: too little and the gliders could not rise, too much and the fragile trainers were thrown about.
