I have long been an admirer of the work of Carl b. Graf and recently realised that there is not much information on his work online. So I thought I would put a set together as the start of a small archive of his work.

Der Grafiti Tunnel in London ist eines der versteckten Highlights von London und fuer jeden Streetfotografen einen Besuch wert. Die riesigen 5-6m hohen Designs sind sehr sauber gezeichnet und keinesfalls verschmiert. Hier wird Grafiti zur Kunst. Nur die unterschiedlichen Lichtfarben aus diversen Neoroehren sind etwas tricky.

Intresting model of the carrier - Graf Zepplin with a compliment of Bf-109's and Ju-87 Stuka's on board.
Would be intresting te see a Bf-109 landing on a carrier with its delicate landing gear design.
The Graf Zeppelin was the lead ship in a class of two aircraft carriers for the German WW-II Kriegsmarine.
In the end it is the only aircraft carrie launched by Germany.
The complement of aircraft would be 42 fighters and dive bombers.
Construction on Graf Zeppelin began on 28 December 1936 in Kiel. Named in honor of Graf (Count) Ferdinand von Zeppelin.
The ship was launched on 8 December 1938, and was 85% complete by the outbreak of World War II in September 1939.
Graf Zeppelin was not completed and was never operational due to shifting construction priorities necessitated by the war.
She remained in the Baltic for the duration of the war.
The ship was scuttled just outside Stettin in March 1945 by the German crew.
The Soviet Union raised the ship in March 1946.
The Graf Zeppelin was ultimately sunk in weapons tests north of Poland 17 months later.
