Shell tank truck servicing a small aircraft, 1937

A streamlined tank truck lettered SHELL and Aeroshell stands in front of a hangar whose facade carries the name SIEMENS; a mechanic in overalls opens the rear cabinet with its pumps and gauges while another works beside the propeller of a small single-engined aircraft. British-Dutch Shell, American Standard and Anglo-Persian BP all fuelled German aviation side by side; Germany imported most of its oil, and the Four-Year Plan aimed to replace it with synthetic fuel made from coal.
