ONLINE RESOURCES
     If you search for "Simon Brunnhuber", using the Google search engine, (1-6-08), you will find about 10 of 14 links, most of them in German. However, machine-translations are available on the page. Two of them are in English and although brief, are worth visiting. The one cited immediately below enabled me to understand the two photographs seen above.		  
 
Walther-Huth-Straße
     From the machine-translation of this site, I was able to extract the following paragraph:

" Simon began in 1910 Brunnhuber in the Provisional Army Aviation School of Management under the cover name of Dr. Brueck troops on the training ground Döberitz Spandau as a commissioner at the Albatros works on a bought in France Farman monoplane with the training of the first German military flight instructor."

     The translation is still a bit cryptic for me, but at least I can understand that Brunnhuber had been an instructor in a school. You can access the webpage in the original German by clicking on the title above. If you can offer a more reliable translation of the text, I would very much like to hear from you.		  

 
 
 
 
I have no information as to the dates of his birth or death.
