Do you have these reports in a digitised format? If you don't but you have the reels and you're based in the UK, I can help you get these digitised free of charge.

If you're interested, let me know.

These are the pages that were in negative in the report for 17 November – 21 December.

Thanks again.

Two terms from these reports that I'd appreciate help with:

Flügel mit neuer V-Stellung = wing with new [what?] position/setting. Elsewhere in the reports “V-“ means “Versuchs-“ but I’m not if that’s what’s meant here.

Schraube Holzleitwerk = literally "screw wooden tail unit" = screwed together?

[RolandF]

"V-shaped position" of the wing = dihedral angle of wings
"screw" = seems to describe a special screw type necessary to build the wooden tail unit. Important in connection with humidity and the conditions in open air. Remember the glue problems of the Bf109 tail unit

Thanks. I couldn't believe it would be that simple!
