Re: GRAF SPEE's AR196s 1939

Hi All

The L2+X41 was in fact onboard the Graf Spee for awhile in 1939 but returned to Germany before she ventured on her famous cruise and ultimately her doom. L2+X41 had by then been transferred onboard Gneisenau from about mid-june 1939. No WNr is known but it has been reported as both an A-0 and an A-1

As always I am a bit puzzled by the German WNr. The 10 A-0 has been reported as following the V-5 (WNr 0090) as WNr 0091-0100.
The V-6 is stated to be WNr 0191. How all this reflects on the main production which "seems" to be in between WNr 0001 - 0437 and 1001-1017 is beyond me...

As always Seaplanes seems to have access to what we others only wish we had

Cheers
Stig
