Blacksnake, Goering is right everything else is wrong. AFAIK Junkers was expropriated before the war, and died in 1935, the man we are talking about was expropriated during WW2. The "mistery plane" is from the company named after the designer so not an Albatross or Hansa-Brandenburg. It's interesting to see how nazi arrogance, and Goering's greed, lost Germany the services of two hugely talented engineers. BTW The Albatross D.V was flown by most German WW1 aces, I suspect an Albatross D-V "Goering" is just a particular plane flown by the fat man.
Okay...TiredOldSoldier, thought Goring was the key to this, so when I spotted the connection with Junkers I jumped on it (a bit too hasty). With fresh eyes (TiredOld"Blacksnake" last night ) Designer is Ernst Heinkel. A lot of similar designs as you've said...There is one I'm having the most trouble locating...So, using the process of elimination I'm going to go for the He 49bw. The 49b converted to a float plane If that's not close or right I officially concede!
Blacksnake you are nearly there, Ersnt Heinkel is correct but it's not a He 49bw It's a lot closer to this (Heinkel HD 19) in design though obviously with a different engine http://www.avrosys.nu/aircraft/jakt/104-J4-282-SvenGunnarKnapp.jpg One previous post actually got the model number right but wrong manufacturer.
Seeing as how I'm close I wont "Throw in the towel" just yet. Is it the Heinkel HD 25. Developed in Germany, but actually built by Aichi in Japan? :2Xpray:
The HD-25 it is. The picture came from a book and I was unable to find one on the net, it was actually labeled He 25 but I believe HD 25 is correct. over to you.
No...Neither was I ... If it wasn't for your generous clues I would never have pinned it down ... That was harder than "Rocket's" Latvian prototype!
You probably did, Not much to work with except what looks like a 9 cylinder rotary engine and a VERY distincitve wing, very nice find . I remomder something that but not where I saw it, I need to lookup some thing before I start the "ranging shots"
It looks like something out of the "those magnificent men on their flying machines" film and IIRC those planes were pretty accurate reconstructions of exising models.
It does indeed TiredOldSoldier Testing began as early as 1929. This plane was built and successfully flown in 1934.......
You don't want much do you Rocket ... Okay ... Full title: Arthur Sack A.S.6(V1)/Me-600 Bussard (Buzzard). The Me-600 was a proposed re-design by Messerschmit with enlarged wing, a more powerful engine and an armament of six cannons giving the me-600 the potential to be a 500mph fighter. The "Bussard" (Buzzard) bit was the nickname given it by Komet pilots who thought the name fitting due to the amount of time the plane spent on the ground, plus the fact it was primarily made up of scavenged spare parts. Anything else???
