Mechanics fitting an aircraft engine, 1937

Seen from below, mechanics in work jackets and caps climb a ladder to the radial engine of an aircraft, its propeller blade rising against the sky, while a man below hands something up; then a worker in a long coat wipes down the corrugated metal tail fin of an aircraft on which a large swastika on a white disc is painted. Since the flag law of September 1935 the swastika was the sole national emblem on the tail of every German aircraft.
