Re: Stammkennzeichen for the Henschel Hs 129s?

I cannot resist to challenge your information about Hs 129's delivered to the Rumanian Air Force. My figures are all from data found in Bundesarchiv, Freiburg, and they should be faily correct. For the first batch of Hs 129, deliveries commenced on 22.04.1943 with four aircraft. Up to the summer of this year Rumania received a total of 39 aircraft out of 42 originally planned. The remaining three were delivered 04.02.1944, all comming from repair works.

Deliveries of the next batch commenced on 23.06.1944 with three aircraft. I have details of a further 14 aircraft with the last delivered on 29.07.1944. I find it hard to believe that Rumania took delivery of nearly 160+ aircraft after this date.

Any comments please.
