'Flieger Magazin'
[Ringier Verlag, ISSN 0170-5504, Euro4.35]
First published in the mid 1980's. From its advertising content alone, it is easy to see that this title is another primarily aimed at the professional or private pilot fraternity - from business jets to ultralights. Regular columns provide general flying advice with an accent on safety, including accident analysis. Interspersed among the usual gamut of flight tests and readers` letters are a combined flying/travelogue featuring a particular general aviation airfield, its facilities and environs, and articles of interest to a wider audience. Another regular feature is devoted to curios from the early days of flying, while others can cover restoration projects, helicopter operations and the like. Glossy A4 magazine, with 90-116 pages each issue, many b+w and colour photos and diagrams. (German text).
The same publisher also produces Aero International (see above).
