While going through a stock book of Germany stamps, I came across these. Does anyone know anything about them? I could not find them in the Scott catalog.

The stamps are cinderellas? for Gerhard Zucker's experimental rocket mail in the 1930's. Won't be in the Scott catalogue. There is a biography of Zucker.

Try the Michel Zeppelin- und Flugpost-Spezial-Katalog, ISBN 3-87858-536-5.
The latest printing is 2002 but it is still available from Michel 39,90 Euro (about $54 US)
