Re: Siebel Si 204E

Hi Michal
This may not help but there is a book "German Aircraft of the Second World War" by J R Smith and Anthony Kay which has a section on the Si204 but unfortunately mentions only the 204A and 204D without any sub -types and no mention of the 204E at all.The a/c was mostly built in France at the nationalised SNCAC factory and production continued after the war. There were over 300 of both types built post war where the 204A was designated NC702 and the 204D was the NC701. The 204D was also built in Czechoslovakia as the C-103 but no numbers are given. The totals for wartime production are not given but the a/c had a variety of roles including transport and training and at least one version was fitted with guns above the fuselage and external bombs although this could have been for crew training.There is mention of it's use in a Mistel combination but only as a means of getting an experimental Delta wing fighter into the air, the Lippisch DM-1 in a glider version
Regards
Dick
