I'm always looking for more info! For example: Any information about the seaplane tenders. Their operations, pictures,
ship data, catapult data such as strength, acceleration, release velocity, travel distance. Anything.

Bv 138 mission histories, comments about the plane, units, operations, unpublished or other pictures...
Technical data; center of gravity, weights of certain parts, diagrams, fueltank placements, HDL 151 turret data, wing airfoils, propeller airfoils... Flight data; stall speeds, roll rate, turn rate, speed vs altitude, flight behaviours...

I'm also interested in how minesweeping was done. In what theaters was this used? What height did one fly in?
Did the mines explode? Were the mines visible from the air? ...

In short - if you have any additional info regarding anything about the BV 138 please contact me! (New adress!!)





Do you have any ofthese books?
If you do, please tell me if there's any relevant info on the BV 138 and what it may discuss... I unfortunatly can't afford them all and most of them are probably out of print so any info on their contents would be most appreciated!
