Re: Help Identify Aircraft Tail Panel
What's the crash/school location named on the card? It looks like "Wildtham"? Where's that?
Identification of tail panels can be a challenge. Some possible pointers that when linked may lead to a/c type determination or elimination:
1) Location and date on card (if correct).
2) Style and size of swastika.
3) Paint colors and patterns.
4) Rivet patterns and back side structure (sometimes removed).
The panel has some very distinctive boundry features as made; e.g., an inside curve and straight edges (note lengths and angles). These details should certainly help if compared to profile line drawings of candidate a/c.
Good luck, and let let us know if you determine the type.
