Re: RATO Pods in 1940
RL-2/III/383 mentions that on 16 Aug 40 shows that the airfields at Nantes and Etampes had equipment for 10 rocket-assisted-take-offs and they expected equipment for a complete Kampfgruppe by 20 Aug. It does not say if these were Walter HWK 109-500 (that early?) but T-Stoff and Z-Stoff is mentioned in the document.
