$125.00
The single sheet blue print is approximately 7-3/4 inches by 11-1/2 inches. The document exhibits age toning and a chip on the bottom edge. The document bears the designation of “RLM”, referring to the Reich Luft Ministry. Titled as a “Flugzeugtypenblatt” (Aircraft type sheet), it has the designation of “Geheime Kommandosache” (Secret command matter). The drawing is that of the Arado 430, a planned flying boat which was to carry a crew of two with six to eight passengers. However, while it seems that a prototype was built, the aircraft never went into production.
