Topic: GG-251 Erwin Jungfer compressed air car, 1931

[pnegyesi]

my problem is if I put in "auto" and "lucht" and focus on 1931 magazines and the illustrated articles - then this one doesn't show up

I'm pretty certain of where you are looking for the article, but this one is not to be found on that website

Was this an article in Nieuwe Leidsche Courant?

[guido66]

No, wrong city. 

[Otto Puzzell]

I think I found one of its offspring 

[pnegyesi]

was it published in the Aalst region?

[guido66]

It wasn't built in Belgium, nor did I find it in a Belgian newspaper.

[pnegyesi]

was this published in a Dutch daily?

[guido66]

Yes it was.

[pnegyesi]

published in Amsterdam?

[guido66]

Not Amsterdam....

[pnegyesi]

in a big city, like Rotterdam?

[guido66]

Yes, Rotterdam it is!

[pnegyesi]

so the vehicle was built by Erwin Jungfer in Germany. I found two references in a Dutch electronic library (yes, two):
- one the puzzle picture with the guy's face added
- and a 2nd which provided some details, which I am not sure to be correct. Pls see attachment

Very well done! I haven't come across the photo of the builder, so if you could post it here.

I did find this information on the book he wrote, though. I wonder if it explains how this car works?
