An illustrated book I have, detailing airliners between 1905 and 1930 has a few images of German aircraft from this period.

The earlier photos show the aircraft baring registrations like "D-2394" and "D-2053", but the later photos haev aircraft baring registrations like "D-AZUR" and "D-ADLR".

When was the change made from numbers to letters and why was this registration change made? Any information you have would be useful...

The numbers are for the gliders.
