A boy with a slingshot and a paper glider, 1937

Against the sky a boy in a short-sleeved shirt and braces stretches out his arm and launches something with a looped rubber band; then he holds a small white glider with a printed wing and fits it to the catapult, and fires again. Model gliders were a craze of the decade, promoted in schools and by the Hitler Youth's flying branch as the first step toward the Luftwaffe that Göring had unveiled in 1935.
