Re: Arado Ar 96T (ex. Ar 96B) Aircraft carrier trainer

JoMe and Björn

I have received confirmation from Italy that both these Ar 96 B (T) were tested at Guidonia (by Nucleo Sperimentale) already in May 1943 for the Aquila carrier program. A request for six aircraft had been made.

With regard to the undated second document, none of the Fi 167 reached Italy.
The Ju 88s are hard to say, since deliveries to Italy were haphazard.
The mentioned 12 Fi 156 was a final batch scheduled for an Aug 1943 delivery which never took place due to the fall of Il Duce.

Finally the four listed Olympia gliders are unknown

Some of these details can also be found in the magazines of IARB back in the 1970s

Cheers
Stig
