  • The Hans Rossbach Aces Collection This Is Quite an Incredible Set of Covers with Over 270 Signature of Top Luftwaffe VIP’S
    THE CENTENARY OF THE ROYAL The Hans Rossbach Aces Collection This is quite an incredible set of covers with over 270 signature of top Luftwaffe VIP’s. It took Hans over three years to assemble back in the 1970’s. He AIR FORCE personally visited all aces including great names like Willy Messerschmitt, Werner Von Braun, Herman Obarth, Albert Speer, Erich Hartmann, Adolf August 2018 Galland, Gerd Barkhorn plus many more. There is even a cover signed by Issue 4 five members of Richthofen’s original flying circus. Many of the individual covers are now worth well over £200 with the Von Braun and Messerschmitt now worth £1500. Other rare signatures include Rudel Batz, Hanna Reichi, Hans Bauhr (Hitlerís pilot), Matoni, Skorzaney, Kurt Tank. Hans only did 100 sets of all 80 covers. Each cover has a biography of the signatures printed on the cover, plus numerous b/w photos inside. He originally stated that there are only 20 or so complete sets anywhere in the world. You can’t imagine how much time and effort went in to getting the photos that are inside the covers, the travelling, overprinting of envelopes etc. Each can be identified by a number in a red circle on the reverse, we list here what we have available at this point, but there are still lots of gaps to fill and will keep trying HRA06 £150 £50 per month HRA02 £100 £50 per month over 2 months over 3 months 1971 RAF Fylingdales cover, signed by Ludwig Meister, Josef 1986 Biggin Hill Kraft, Hans Joachim Jabs and Hans Martin Madeball.
