Gong type specimen

from Letterform Archive

  • coconinoco said:
    Gong was released in 1945 by Norddeutsche Schriftgießerei, so that constrains the earliest date.
  • coconinoco said:
    These pages seem to be from the Johannes Wagner & Co type specimen for Gong from 1956, which would fit the fashion styles.

    There’s another specimen on Flickr here, from 1962:
  • Letterform Archive said:
    Thanks coconinoco! We’re aware of these. There is some evidence that Gong was cast as far back as 1939, so we wanted to get some more confirmation that this specimen is 1956 as the Berlin library guesses.

    The beach ball in the next image is no help since they're from 1938 (amazingly, I was surprised when I looked it up)

    What a brilliant photo!

    The zipper was invented in 1892, so that's an earliest date...

    This chap looks like he's wearing a WW2 USAAF flying suit so my guess is he's a USAAF pilot/aircrew...from an aircraft that flew high altitudes...like a B29...

    I don't think the USAAF units that operated out of Northern Australia during WW2 dressed in flying gear like this...this was the gear they wore during operations over Europe and Japan, where it was a good deal colder...

    airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/boots-flying-type-a... - here's his boots...

    One possibility...if this pic was taken in Australia...this chap might be the pilot or one of the aircrew from the USAAF B29 'Waltzing Matilda' that made a brief tour of Australia in October 1945 to drum up support the 4th Victory Loan...

    www.awm.gov.au/collection/C351807 - brief details here...

    trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/56391948 - the Rockhampton Morning Bulletin, 25th October, 1945...the names of the crew are mentioned here (see item at bottom of highlighted column)...

    My next guess is that the pic might have been taken in the later 1940s or early 1950s...US B29s made several visits to Australia during this period...on joint training exercises...to gather data during the Woomera atomic bomb tests, etc...

    trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/27518350 - SMH, 17th June, 1954...pic of US B29 pilots/crew at Richmond RAAF Base...but they look to be wearing more modern gear...
  • geoff.barker285 said:
    yes - the date is interesting. it looks like a B3 jacket and these were replaced by the thinner B10 in 1943. Those boots look like they are for cold and high altitude but as cabin pressurisation improved in 1940s the need for this kind of gear decreased so could be early to mid 1940s?
