KM Hans-Albrecht Weder, Flugsicherungsschiff 338, info reqst

[Arvo L. V.]

Esteemed forum members;

I am trying to locate some more exacting information on the Arado seaplanes, which were assigned to the Kriegsmarines Flugsicherungsschiff 338, the Hans-Albrecht Werder. I understand that at some point in time, quite probably after September of 1941, one of her duty stations was off of Ventspils (Wenden), Latvia. The KM used vessels like the Werder either in lieu of or to augment its naval air bases. The ship acted as a floating base. I am trying to determine what the Arado seaplanes may have looked like, which models they may have been and any data re Kennzeichens or special squadron insignia. If the seaplanes were used for reconnaissance missions in the Ventspils area - might they have also been used on missions in/around Estonia and Finland?

One of my goals is to be able to prepare some color art work on the vessel and the a/c she serviced.

Thank you kindly in advance for any information leads or assistance efforts.

Regards;

Arvo L. V.
