Date of loss for ex. Norwegian curtiss Hawk
In July 1940 an ex. Norwegian Curtiss Hawk 75A-6 was 100% lost and pilot killed due to technical problems with the adjustable propellar. This was one of up to 19 similar aircraft taken by German forces during the occupation of Norway in april 1940 . The planes were shipped back to Germany and handed over to Weser Flugzeugbau's Umbauwerft at Berlin-Tempelhof for conversion to training aircraft together with a number of Curtiss Hawk 75A-1 to A-4 taken over in France. Can anyone give the date and/or other details for the accident with the ex. Norwegian aircraft.
