Re: AR196s aboard German Raider PINGUIN

Brian,

I believe the names of the Pinguin flight crew members are:

Observer: Oberleutnant zur See Walter Müller [KIA]
Pilot: Unteroffizier Hans Werner [POW]
Mechanics: Oberfeldwebel Ferdinand Hüttenmeister [KIA], Obergefreiter Hermann Bader [KIA], Gefreiter Heinrich Lein [?] [fate unknown], and Gefreiter Heinz Radden [POW].

Sources: Luftwaffe loss records for Pinguin, http://www.volksbund.de, and http://www.ubootwaffe.net/crews/crews.cgi.

Graham,

there are some scans of the original Orion Flugtagebuch on this page http://forum-marinearchiv.de/smf/ind....msg87106.html with a very interesting comparison between the Arado and the Japanese floatplane.

Hans
