4th Meeting Aéronautique International. 1937.
When it comes to Baumberger’s poster output, it’s his versatility, his ability to match a style to a message that makes them standouts. There isn’t one single style that we immediately identify as the “Baumberger Way”; rather one’s inclined to say “how right” his approaches consistently are. His pattern of an approaching aerial squadron is so irresistible we can practically hear the drone of the engines. This is the French-language version.
