Re: Book about Wiener Neustaeder Flugzeugwerke
In Wiener Neustadt there were 2 complexes of WNF:
Werk1 in the Wienerstrasse 120 which was founded in 1935 by Julius Arigi ( a WW1 pilot )
and Werk 2 which used the former Daimler Motoren AG buildings in the Pottendorferstrasse ( Daimler closed its plant here in 1933 )
but aircraft industry started much sooner in Wiener Neustadt:
Oesterreichische Flugzeugfabrik AG (Oeffag):
they started in 1915 and had to close after the end of war, later the Austro Daimler used the area.
Oeffag was the third largest A/C producing plant in the AustroHungerian Monarchy, they produced inter allia Albatros D II and D III; but also Oeffag C I and II and for the KuK Navy the Types K, R, S and G
