Hi
Me 110 WNr 2381 was obviously salvaged. Destroyed in bomb attack on Fl.Pl.Laupheim July 24th 1944. At the time with ZG 101 Regards, Andreas B |
Re: Photos 11-30
Hi, guys
Regarding the photo album from the Beobachter flying a He 111... some of them are incredible, and if they are really made in a combat situation, I am amazed of the quality... Especially the photos of the polish and french fighters are incredible, and for some reason I get a feeling that these photographs are made AFTER the battle, and might be part of a movie or something? Problem is that other photographs feels as 'the real thing'... Comments? Regards, Andreas B |
Re: Photos 11-30
Hi,
they are not real Polish fighters but Avia`s used for German propaganda movie. Regards Robert |
Re: Photos 11-30
Hi, Robert
I saw that they were Avia's, but didn't know if the poles had any of these (not my main field of interest) You can also see a camera installation on top of the engine cowling on one of the 'french' Hawks. Anyone able to identify the Hawks with serial numbers? Did these eventually end up in III./JG 77 and Finland? Regards, Andreas B |
Re: Photos 11-30

What is the device on the cowling in front of the cockpit in the Curtiss P-36 Hawk photographs? |

Re: Photos 11-30
That album (with He 111s, Avias and P-36s) was very interesting, indeed.
I am quite sure the P-36 with the bogus RAF-markings (they are not French ones, vene if they are inacurate) were used in a propaganda movie and that the equipment is an externally mounted camera. Didn't know they used the Avia as stand-ins for Polish fighters for the same puurpose, though. This photo: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=150313294585 does not show a Halifax in my view, but a Whitley. Or am I completely wrong??? Regards, Kjetil |
Re: Photos 11-30
Its a Whitley - Mk.V N1408 MH-K of 51 Sq missing (Hannover) 18.05.40 - according to James J. Halley, Air-Britain Publications.

Re: Photos 11-30
Hi...
Definitely a Whitley. The tailplane arrangement gives it away. Loved the photo album showing the Do17s from KG77, especially the mix of Do17Z and the earlier Do17Es, with the small external bomb load in evidence. Thanks for a great selection once again, Ed. Regards... |
Re: Photos 11-30
Avias and Hawks were flown for Kampfgeschwader Luetzow movie, they have also burned some actual Polish planes for it. I cannot exclude that the footage was used in other films as well.

I also thought it was a Whitley. Did a Google on the serial and there was a reference to Halifax - or it might have been Hanover. Saw the H and assumed Halifax. OF course too early for a Halifax. Thought it showed a body covered in a sheet but not clear of casualties. The story seems to indicate they all bailed out but it looks more like a force landing. How are the profiles going? Keeping you busy? regards Mark |
Re: Photos 11-30
Guys
Can't remember that I have seen all that many upper parts of Luftwaffe wings. Was it common or not to put the STMKZ on the upper surface? Check this crashed Ju 52 http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=390013034500 Cheers Stig |
Re: Photos 11-30
I believe it to be a Junkers F-13...It is far too small for Ju 52 (look at the people sizes)...and I see only one wrecked engine...but I can be mistaken!

Re: Photos 11-30
OK Guys
Let's go for a Ju W.34, but you are missing the point. I wasn't looking at the aircraft I was looking at the markings ON TOP of the wings!! Any takers? Cheers Stig |

Re: Photos 11-30
Hello,
After a look at my photos, I can say many planes from this unit and in this perioid, 1940-41, like Ar 68, Fw 44, He 45 Etc... had their Stkz on the top of the wing too... Eric |
Re: Photos 11-30
Yes, it's a Ju W 34.
Another airplane of the same unit, with very close Stkz. was sold on eBay: http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/4...nemblemwe2.jpg |
