What is this book? A glider school yearbook? The photos appear to be on photo paper.

I've subsequently found out this was a cigarette promotional book from around 1935.

Last photo.

I told the person that owns the book (here in the US) that I would try to find out more info on it. It is for sale if anyone is interested. The owner is seeking $250 USD. I can put you in touch if you are interested.

Is that Herman G. in the top photo?
If it's a signed autograph, I would expect the book has quite a value.

I think histories on aviation training programs from the war are underrepresented...so it might be interim to read...if you can read German.
