A smiling pilot in full uniform commands attention beneath the yellow aircraft D-1881 as it banks across a grey sky. A parachutist descends on the right while the Bavarian coat of arms anchors the composition below. The bold 'FLUGTAG' lettering declares this celebration of flight.
Designed by Hans V. Römer for the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Bayerischer Piloten (Working Group of Bavarian Pilots) in the early 1930s, this poster promoted aviation events during Germany's pioneering era of civil flight. Römer's crisp illustration depicts the optimism and technical precision that defined 1930s aviation advertising.
The poster exemplifies mid-century modernist design: geometric aircraft forms, bold colour blocks in yellow against grey, and streamlined typography that speaks to the machine age aesthetic. Bavaria's regional aviation community commissioned such works to promote flying clubs and air shows across southern Germany.
Produced as an archival print using museum-quality giclée technique on 200gsm Enhanced Matte Fine Art Paper.
