Aircraft that did not quite produce a full top ace

[Edward L. Hsiao]

I wonder who was the top scoring German pilot of Arado Ar-196 floatplane. The Ar-196 had seen plenty of air to air combat during WWII.

Hello Edward,

oh that would be interesting.
You think the Ar 196 has shot something down ?

Have a nice Tuesday,

see the personal account "Eine Arado Ar 196 gegen zehn Spitfire" by a Hptm Wiegmink of 1./196 in " Bordflieger im Einsatz "

Sounds interesting.
I'll try to find that article.

Gentlemen,

Well the Arado Ar-196s had in the past during WWII shot down plenty of twin-engined British Beaufighters in the North Sea,Atlantic,Aegean Sea,and elsewhere. I remember reading about a Ar-196 floatplane from the German heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen that had shot a Beaufighter in 1943. I don't what other Allied warplanes that were shot down by Ar-196s but I like to find out pretty soon!

Sincerely,

Edward L. Hsiao
