Re: Me 321 variants - Lieferprogramm from May, 14th 1941
Thank you for your input.
That's what I have, most info drawn from Peter Schmoll´s Messerschmitt-Giganten (2002): WNr 452 with its crew Ff1 Lt Otto Bräutigam, Ff2 Ing Bernhard Flinsch (2 pilots!), both from E-Stelle Rechlin, Lt Fritz Schwarz, Gfr Adolf Engel, Mtt-Ing Josef Sinz crashed between Barbing east of Regensburg and Obertraubling after losing its tail unit on May, 28th 1041. Test pilot Hanna Reitsch survived the crash because she accidentily missed the take-off and had to stay on the ground. (A different source quotes WNr 561 for this accident) We have different StKz-blocks for the Me 321 Production Leipheim: W1+S?, confirmed D, G, H. N, Y, Z. W1+SZ obviously was re-bulit as Me 323V1 W3+S?, confirmed B, K, S W5+S?, confirmed A W7+S?, confirmed nil Production Obertraubling: W2+S?, confirmed A, B, C, D, E, F, H, J, K, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, Y, Z W4+S?, confirmed A, B, C, F, J, K, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, X. W4+SB, crashed Dec, 8th 1941 was WNr 577 W6+S?, confirmed A, B, D, F, J, K, L, O, P, Q, R, T, U, V, W, X, Z W8+S?, confirmed B, D, F, H, K, L, N, M, P, Q, R, S, T, V, X, Z Interestingly the single-seater and double-seater versions are designated A-1 and B-1. Schmoll writes about the Me 321B as being the first motorized variant projected with 4 Gnome-Rhone 14N engines and 8 landing gear tires. Regards RolandF |
