1934 Glider Demonstration of the German D-CONDOR at El Palomar Airfield, Argentina – Professor Georgii Scientific Mission

This rare original 1934 photograph captures a striking glider demonstration at El Palomar Aerodrome, Argentina—an event blending aviation sport, education, and international exchange. The image shows a streamlined glider in low, graceful flight over a densely packed crowd assembled in front of military hangars marked "SET. DE AERONAUTICA". The scene conveys both the spectacle of flight and the prestige of the event.

The reverse bears a clipped Spanish-language newspaper caption identifying the occasion as part of a scientific-sports mission led by Professor Georgii, a noted figure in 1930s gliding circles. These missions were hallmarks of Germany’s interwar outreach, using non-powered aviation to promote aeronautical science and international goodwill.

Dated with an archival stamp 29 MAR 1934, this photograph offers a rare, precisely documented glimpse into South American aviation history and the global glider movement of the interwar years. A visually dynamic and culturally significant image for collectors of aviation memorabilia, Argentine aeronautical history, or pre-WWII German aviation diplomacy.

After extensive research, the glider is 1934 German D-CONDOR
