Re: Werknummer for Ar 196 A-2 SKZ CU+AX (or CU+AY)

Dear Seaplanes, RT,

thank you for pointing this out. I am aware of the uncertainties and discrepancies of the SKZ system.

I estimated, perhaps wrongly, that the aircraft 0039 through 0062 were built in early 1940 so theoretically this could have been the first sequential SKZ/WNr block for the type.

But you are absolutely correct, I have no way of knowing if and how Arado assigned their allocated SKZ to these Ar 196's or if the block was assigned at unit level.

Seaplanes, I have sent you a PM.

Hans
