Re: Aircraft Tail Swaz - Identification Help!
looking again, it is not Fi156 Storch.
There are not enough fabric stitches. I am leaning towards trainer or small recce type aircraft. Mike |

Re: Aircraft Tail Swaz - Identification Help!
I have to say I have now idea but a suggestion is to think about airfields which were already in Allied hands at April 25th 1945. So was Hof airfield in Allied hands at that day?
Best regards Rolf |

I looked at length yesterday evening and all the images I saw of tail Swaz's from the Fi156 Storch show it spanning at least 3 stitch lines, whereas this has one centrally. I do not have this in hand as yet, hopefully next week. |

So it seems that it was in fact in Allied hands as of at least the 19th, so 6 days prior to the dating on the back of this panel. I have highlighted Hof on the map with the green dot. |

REVI,
Your suggestion of a possible glider is quite interesting indeed....and the suggestion to the futur owner to take the measure of the item. Good one! A |

Re: Aircraft Tail Swaz - Identification Help!
I would say its most likely from a glider after looking at these period images.
Thank you for posting them Revi. My friend who was selling this panel said it was around 28cms, but I will measure it myself to be sure. I will have the panel in hand hopefully next week so will measure and post the results here... BR, Christian |
