  • Meilensteine 1920 Bis 2020 Ein Häfeli DH.3 Landet Am 22
    Foto ETH Bildarchiv Auf dieser Luftaufnahme vom 3. April 1939 ist die ovale, rund 400 Meter lange Pistenanlage des damaligen Genfer Flughafens gut ersichtlich. Die 100-jährige Geschichte des Aérport de Genéve-Cointrin Meilensteine 1920 bis 2020 Ein Häfeli DH.3 landet am 22. September 1920 als erstes Flugzeug auf dem «Champs d’Aviation» in Genève. In den folgenden Jahren wird die Infrastruktur laufend ver- bessert, die Piste verlängert. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ist Genf der Langstre- cken-Airport für die Swissair. 1961 verfügt Cointrin mit 3900 Metern erneut über die längste Schweizer Piste, doch 1996 zieht Swissair ihre Langstreckenflüge ab. 1999 etabliert sich EasyJet. Das sind nur einige Meilensteine: Zusammengestellt von Daniel Ruhier Jahr Datum Ereignis 1920 19. Juni In Änderung des Gesetzes vom 11. Oktober 1919 beschliesst der Grosse Rat einen Kredit von 675‘000 Franken für den Landerwerb zur Schaffung eines Flugfeldes auf dem Gemeindegebiet von Meyrin in Cointrin. 22. September Das Eidgenössische Luftamt bewilligt den Betrieb eines Zollflugplatzes 1. Klasse in Cointrin. Tags darauf macht Edgar Primault mit einem Doppeldecker Häfeli DH.3 die Erstlandung auf dem neuen Flugfeld. 15. November Anlässlich der Eröffnungssitzung des Völkerbunds überfliegt ein Geschwader von fünf Doppeldeckern Häfeli DH-3 sowie je ein Fokker D.7, Nieuport Bébé und Morane MoS.30 den Palais des Nations; sie landen anschliessend in Cointrin. 1922 21.

  • Album of Erich Schatzki 1
    ALBUM OF ERICH SCHATZKI 1. 1898 – 1991 Erich Schatzki and Family Erich Schatzki, born January 23 1898, in Klafeld (Siegen) Nord-Rhein Westfalen, Germany. Died in Palo Alto, CA USA on August 28, 1991. German/American pilot, aircraft designer, manager, entrepreneur and lecturer. Son of the Jewish engineer Ferdinand Schatzki (1857–1910), Oberingenieur at the Siegener Verzinkerei AG in Klafeld-Geisweid and his wife Beate Stern from Schmallenberg. Erich S. had four brothers, who all survived the Second World War. Walter became a book seller and antiquarian in New York; Richard a famous radiologist at Boston MA, where he discovered the so-called Schatzi-ring, a throat affliction. He loved music and had at home two Steinway grand pianos. Paul studied medicine and became a well known physician in Australia and Herbert was a textile manufacturer. Their lives were strongly marked by their Jewish lineage that forced them to flee their country of birth in the 1930’s. Erich studied engineering at Hannover and Darmstadt Technische Hochschule (1923). He received his Dr.-Ing. in 1929 in Berlin. In 1933, after a successful career as a pilot and engineer at Junkers and Luft Hansa, he was forced to take refuge in Switzerland and later Holland where he designed fighter aircraft. He was forced to flee again in 1940. From 1943 to 1953 he worked as a design and development engineer for Republic Aviation on Long Island, USA, with a short interlude from 1949 to 1950 in Israel. After a stint as consultant in the USA, he lived again in Israel from 1958 to 1962, working for Israel Aircraft Industries as a Director of Engineering.

However, we hold that while yearlong mismanagement was indeed the driving force behind Swissair’s demise, exogenous factors both helped and compounded

    American Philatelic Society Affiliate No . 52 EDITOR : Robert C . Ross, 28 Kenmore Place, Glen Rock, New Jersey 07452 MAY, 1978 POINT v . 4, no . 5, wh . no . 37, p . 97 " The next edition of the Specialized Switzerland Zumstein is rumored to become available by the time LEMANEX, the next national stamp show in the spring of 1978, in Lausanne, rolls around . Thus it might be appropriate to ask a question of the editors : Why not follow suit of the Scott catalogue and list prices for booklet panes? Zumstein does list entire booklets, at remarkably stiff prices, and of course all the se-tenants, interspaces, and tete-beches that come into being when printing full sheets for booklets are listed with all details ; but booklet panes are strangely absent . WHY? IF they are to be listed there will have to be a distinction made be- tween prices for booklet panes that retain the selvage and those that do not. Most used panes that are found in this country on the back of Sekula envelopes to US customers have no selvage . Similarly, several people have asked what value a tete-beche block of four has in relation to a normal block of four . " (Felix Ganz in Tell/August, 1977 issue, page 154 .) COUNTERPOINT The issue of whether booklet panes should be listed in the upcoming Zumstein Specialized Catalogue in addition to complete booklets and the reasons offered for listing single panes are sound . However, it is important that they not be priced at substantial premiums over the single stamps in the pane regardless of the price of the booklet .
