Questions and Contacts
Recommended Discussion Groups and Internet Sites
While I am happy to answer any emails you send to me, I do recommend that you post your questions at Ruy Horta's Luftwaffe Discussion Group 12 O'Clock High. Many of the experienced Luftwaffe researchers visit that forum, and can probably provide better answers to your questions than I could. The forum requires no password or registration, and is very popular.
If you want to learn about archival research, I suggest you visit Richard T. Eger's Luftwaffe Archives Group. Archival research is something I have done a bit of over the last three years, and it is always great to receive a new batch of Luftwaffe documents from the BA/MA, PRO or AWM (and sometimes a little expensive too!).
Michael Holm's site provides details on all Luftwaffe units, and I urge anyone interested in the activities of the German Air Force in World War II to check it out. Also recommended is Tony Wood's site, which includes his Luftwaffe claims lists, covering Luftwaffe victory claims from 1939 to 1945.
Contacting Me
If you do want to contact me, please use this email address. However, my Hotmail account is very small, so if you are going to send files over 500 kb, please contact me and I'll give you an alternative email address to send the large file.
Identifying a Model
Can anyone confirm that the model that Ben recently inherited is indeed of the FW 190 V1? It is pictured below.
If you can help, please contact myself, or Ben.
Identifying a Propeller
Recently a Frenchman sent me an email asking for help. He would like to identify the aircraft to which the propeller pictured below belonged. The propeller was salvaged a few months ago from the sea near the Crozon peninsula in the Brest region, France. The propeller diameter is about four metres, the blades are about 30.5 cm wide, and the diameter of the blade near the hub is 16 cm. It is believed that the propeller belonged to an early war German aircraft, and might be from a Daimler-Benz engine.
If you can help, please contact Gildas Saouzanet.
