In the case of the "Luftpirat" and some other series, the production plates were destroyed so the series couldn't be reprinted after the end of the First World War. A print on demand edition was published in 2005, edited by Heinz J. Galle, containing issues 1, 40, 42, 56, 63, and 66. In the preface, Heinz J.

A reprint of all available issues is currently being undertaken by German print-on-demand publisher Villa-Galactica.
