Identity of aircraft on German auxiliary cruisers and blockaderunners

Hello,

I am trying to establish the identity (Werknummer) of all individual aircraft carried on German auxiliary cruisers and blockaderunners. These were mainly of the Arado 196 and Heinkel 114 types. Sofar I have this:

Arado 196 A-1 WNr 0020 19/11/1941 destroyed on Kormoran
Arado 196 A-1 WNr 0021 19/11/1941 destroyed on Kormoran
Arado 196 A-1 WNr 0022 19/11/1941 destroyed on Kormoran
Arado 196 A-1 WNr 0030 12/11/1940 destroyed on Kormoran
Arado 196 A-3 WNr 0139 08/05/1941 destroyed on Pinguin
Arado 196 A-3 WNr 0169 09/03/1942 on board Michel
Arado 196 A-3 WNr 0197 09/03/1942 on board Michel

Heinkel 114 WNr 2551 08/05/1941 destroyed on Pinguin
Heinkel 114 WNr 2553 08/05/1941 destroyed on Pinguin.

Hümmelchen - Die deutschen Seeflieger
Kurowski - Bordflieger im Einsatz.

I have not been able to find the aircraft identities for Atlantis, Orion, Stier, Komet, Widder and Thor. Nor have I found anything on the aircraft that were carried on the blockaderunners and other supply ships e.g. Anneliese Essberger, Uckermark, Rio Grande that were used to replenish the auxiliary cruisers.

I would be grateful if anybody could add to this list.

Regards,

Hans Mcilveen
