Deutsches Museum Flugwerft Schleissheim, Munich, Germany |
| Flugwerft Oberschleissheim is a maintenance airfield set up by the Royal Bavarian Flying Corps between 1912 and 1919, one of Germany's oldest airfields. It's about 10 miles north of Munich.
The original hangar is now an exhibition hall, and another large hangar and restoration workshop has been added - making it a huge and fascinating museum. It is an extension of the Deutsches Museum of Science and Technology in Munich. I have a separate page for that. By the way, Akaflieg roughly translates as "college flying group". |
