Great photo, Erich, thanks
Ah, but you have hit the nail in the head, Ar 196! Now if these were available you would already have your Naval Artillery Observer aboard, with no communication problems bar the normal occasional glitch, no complicated and failure-prone comms interfaces.
My only problem (which you addressed) is that these aerial observers would be at extreme risk, flying those slow floaplanes in a very hostile environment.
I may not like their ultimate cause (if any of these people cared for that any longer, I suppose not) but that they were all very brave and tough fighters, not a shade of doubt. They have my utmost respect, Erich.
