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. Sources: 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 Last edited by Hans Mcilveen; 12th August 2007 at 10:23. |
