Serial Number - Aircraft ID help!!!
Hello,
Can anyone help with the Werk-Nr. on this data plate and confirm what aircraft it likely came from...? I was told it was likely a He-111, but some other opinions would be much appreciated. https://i.postimg.cc/7YxbdmWj/400455...13895233-n.jpg Cheers... Chris |

Vereinigte Deutsche Metallwerke (VDM) are best known for propellers, I think, while "Sachnr. 9-1113/…" suggests an engine (engines were "9-…", airframes were "8-…").

Re: Serial Number - Aircraft ID help!!!
Thank you for your reply.
That would be correct as this is a spinner from a crashed bomber. So there is no specific way of telling which aircraft type this would have come from...? As I said in my initial post, it said likely from a He-111 but I wanted to see if others could be more certain based on the data plate. |
Re: Serial Number - Aircraft ID help!!!
The VDM data plate has nothing to do with a specific aircraft.
You will need to figure out which aircraft type P/N 9-1137.30 fits. It may fit various aircraft. |

Is there a website or book that has more details on serial numbers for Luftwaffe parts and aircraft etc...? |
Re: Serial Number - Aircraft ID help!!!
9-1137.30 is the kind of numbering vdm uses.
He111p has 9.11 137 A luftschraube gerat nummer. And 9-11 137.30 is the haube. |

Thank you for the additional information.

Re: Serial Number - Aircraft ID help!!!
I have some more images... Now that I have the spinner in hand, it clearly is not from a He-111 as it is smaller than the He-111 spinner that I already had (RED).
Not sure if anyone has any further info to add as far as what aircraft this smaller one could be from...? https://i.postimg.cc/3xG6rK85/Sp-Compare.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/26tFBZGH/Data-Plate-Sp2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/q75j2SMX/thumbnail-IMG-2003.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/fRHKhpXn/Sp-Internal.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/fRkdYL3p/thumbnail-IMG-2004.jpg |
Re: Serial Number - Aircraft ID help!!!
The he111 did have different spinners per version
See for yourself https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/thread...-bomber.42162/ |

There were certainly quite a few different ones. The different scale is still hard to believe however, although not impossible. The smaller spinner fits inside the larger... I will see what further research I can do. |
