The state airline of the GDR was founded in 1958, and until its dissolution after German reunification in 1991, Interflug was responsible for all other commercial aviation activities of the state, such as agricultural aviation, air traffic control, and the operation of airports. In celebration of the 30th anniversary of its cessation of operations, this book is being published—packed with rare images and stories to peruse from a different era that many today can hardly imagine. Rare detailed and interior shots convey pure zeitgeist. It is especially a treat for fans of Soviet aircraft.
