History/Info on He59 D-A+NYI Poss WNr1638
Hello,
I'm processing 21 photos from the ECPA-D Collection into the EOE DB. They show from start to finish either a real or training rescue mission of an airman down in the sea. The a/c involved is He59 D-A+NYI. A website lists this as W.Nr. 1628. Can anyone confirm this SN, provide the subtype, and give me any info about the history of this a/c, or the incident illustrated in the ECPA-D photo series? This photo sequence was taken when the a/c is still in the pre-August, 1940 red cross markings and paint scheme (white).
I have similar photos of white/red cross marked He59s in the DB with the codes D-A+DIU, D-A+QUV and D-A+LYO for which I'd appreciate similar info. Images of the latter are also from the ECPA-D Collection. Also, am I correct in thinking that after about the end of July, 1940, SNFKdo He59s no longer carried the white paint scheme with the red crosses?
Thanx,
