Heinkel HE 5 seaplanes used in the search for Umberto Nobile, North Pole, 1928, (1932)

Heinkel HE 5 seaplanes used by the Swedes in the search for Umberto Nobile, North Pole, 1928, (1932). Nobile (1885-1978) was an Italian aeronaut and Arctic explorer. He designed the airship Norge in which he became possibly the first man to fly to the North Pole and certainly the first to fly over the Arctic polar ice cap from Europe to America, a feat he accomplished in May 1926. He built a second airship, the Italia, in which he returned to the North Pole in May 1928. The airship crashed in bad weather on the return journey to Spitzbergen, prompting an international rescue operation to search for Nobile and his crew. Of the 16 men on board, Nobile and 5 others were rescued, but the famous Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen lost his life in a plane crash during the search. From " Die Eroberung Der Luft", (The Conquest of the Air), cigarette card album produced by the Garba ty cigarette factory, 1932. Eugene and Moritz Garba ty, who were Jewish, were driven out of business by the Nazis in the late 1930s, and forced to sell their factory which lay empty for over 70 years. [Garbaty Cigarettenfabrik, Berlin-Pankow, 1932]
