Re: Caudron C.445 W.Nr. 1734 - correct? Or which aircraft could it be?
Mikael,
Fw 44 - fabric shape does match but WNr. 1734 was damaged 80% with FFS A/B 41 on 11.Jan.41. This plane was not flown again.
He 72 - fabric shape does match but highest WNr. within this type was 1269.
Bü 131 - fabric shape does not match.
Kl 35B - fabric shape does match, WNr. 1734 was build in January 1940, the first owner during 1940/41 was the FAR 82 at Cottbus, no loss report available. FFS A 5 was newly formed July 1944, the school has had Kl 35 in it’s inventory.
I think the fabric in the Louisiana Museum of Military History comes from the Kl 35B WNr. 1734.
