    Description

    A Kamov K-17 taking off from a truck
    Photo taken in 1948, somewhere, in Soviet Union or in East Germany.
    The Kamov helicopter designs are one-place coaxial rotor types, called Vertolet (Veritcal Flyer). The K-17 appeared in 1948. The prototype utilized two three-blade rotors with tapered blades. This were driven by an Aubier-Dunn type engine.
    This rare picture shows the original version: an open framework carrying two pontoons. Around 1950, a later model appeared with the pilot enclosed in a cabin.
    Vintage printed picture (not a silver print as we used to sell), released circa 1960, in West or East Germany.
    Caption in German on the back.
    Condition:
    very good.
    Size:
    10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 in.)
    Origin:
    from a private collector.
    N.B. :
    of course, the logo on the picture below is not printed on this original silver print.
