Meaning of FSD-M in Junkers documents

[Roger Gaemperle]

Hello,

Does anybody know the exact meaning of FSD-M in Junkers documents? I thought M was referring to Merseburg, but I am not sure anymore. D could well be Dessau like in JFD (Junkersflugzeugwerke Dessau).

Thanks,

Roger

Hello

FSD : Flugzeug Stammwerk Dessau

-M : may be Magdeburg, but I have no proof. Do you have an example of such a document ?

Merseburg definitely. Was a dispersal of the main plant Dessau (FSD) and was commercially part of it, officially called "Baustelle Merseburg".

Hello Jean and Peter,

Thank you very much for your information. Flugzeug Stammwerk Dessau makes very much sense for the abbreviation FSD.

Peter, if in a document only 'FSD' was indicated (e.g. as the location of an aircraft), could it have also been Merseburg? Or was it definately Dessau?

Thanks, Roger

Correct spelling for FSD is "Flugzeugbau Stammwerk Dessau"

FSD means (mostly) that the aircraft was in Dessau. Depends on the context of the document. Which aircraft is it?

[Roger Gaemperle]

Thank you Peter. The aircraft is V31.

Ok, will drop you an e-mail with my information on the Ju 388 V31.
