Description
Embark on a journey into aviation history with our Autographed Sanke Card Nr 380 featuring Leutnant Otto Parschau, a pioneering German pilot who flew the Fokker Eindecker. Parschau gained fame for being the first pilot to fit synchronized gears to his Eindecker, allowing the machine gun to fire through the propeller. He achieved eight victories and was among the first pilots to receive the prestigious Pour le Mérite. Tragically, he was shot down and killed in 1916.
This card captures a candid moment of Parschau standing in front of a train with a loyal companion by his side. Adorned in his uniform, he proudly displays the 1914 Iron Cross 1st Class, a medal bar, and the Prussian and Austrian pilot badges. His clear signature in black ink adds a personal touch to this snapshot of early aviation history.
Preserved in excellent condition and never housed in an album, this card comes from the esteemed collection of a Berlin-based collector and has been recently offered to us by his daughter. Don’t miss the chance to own a piece of aviation history with this Autographed Sanke Card of Leutnant Otto Parschau.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Happy collecting!
