Ed, your "Me 109" is a Ju 87D.

What is the plane in this link

as it is not a Ju52 as the seller says.

Also, what are the two struts from the top of the wing to just below the cockpit on this Arado 196, I have not seen them before?

Hi Peter;

The first is Junkers W 34 - The Ar 196 struts are likely for folding the wings (backwards) - not installed during flight.

Hi...

Yes, the Junkers is a W34... judging from the unit emblem, this example operated with Flugzeugführerschule A/B 113.

You can get a better idea of the emblem from this link:

http://chrito.users1.50megs.com/_dat...mblemsmain.htm

Select 'unit emblems on aircraft', then 'miscellaneous symbols' category, scroll to second last line, left-hand side.

The Arado's unit emblem is a little 'fuzzy', but looks something like that of 1.Staffel, Küstenfliegergruppe 706... see same link as above, but under 'fish... (etc)' category.

Regards
