Re: Focker Wulf 44J W-NR 1320

Beeing familiar with wood-wings (rebuilding odd-pair of KZ VII wings must count?), this seems be tip-end-rib (rounding the edge-bend) with a true W.Nr. plate.
But catch might be, from 1937, just the fuselage still held true W.Nr. and after (any) crash, the fuselage might just get new pair of wings and fly on. This was because delays in parts repairs were hampering making planes airworthy quicker, so assembly with (any) ready parts was the norm. So this (could) come from just about any Fw 44J scrapped or crashed, even post war.
