Re: The fates of Arado Ar 234 V19 and Ar 234 V20

Hi Andy,

You may be right. While Smith and Creek, p.306, say "slightly damaged three days later [after first flight] after being rammed by a taxying Fw 190, repaired to fly again", Arado's Gunther Eheim, chief test pilot for the "C" series, did not fly it from 5 November 1944 to 5 January 1945 according to his report in Karl R. Pawlas,Arado Ar 234 Der erste Strahlbomber, p. 411, nor between 25 February and 1 May 1945 according to his flugbuch.
