flight principles, 1933

"Nature principles with the Berlin Morgenpost - Utilisation of air pressure"  Composed in the Faustus font popular with the Nazis, which they proclaimed as "a particularly lovely font and should be used" - which it may have been, but it wasn't easy to read.   Basically, air passing over the curve of the top of the wing reduces the air pressure on it relative to the pressure on the flat underside, producing lift.
