Focke-Achgelis Fa 330 Bachstelze

[Steve Coates]

The brief version is that the selected Matrosen were given their initial glider training at the Segelflugausbildungsstelle der Luftwaffe Gelnhausen before moving on to beginning training on the Fa 330 in the wind tunnel at Chalais-Meudon. This was followed by two spells of outdoor training at Bautzen and then Schellingwoude.

May I ask if there is a particular reason for your question?

Hello

Τhank you for your answers

Steve,

I saw a photo of a U-Boat sailor with the Glider Pilot 'C' Level Proficiency Badge and I was wonder if it was part of his ''Bachstelze'' pilot training.

Steve

Has JoMe got things wrong here or was some training also carried out where he says?

Cheers
Stig
