This photo is deficient and blurry, but it's significance derives from the extreme rarity of the aircraft shown. It is one of the few asymetric Blohm & Voss BV 141 B reconnaissance aircraft, in flight. The aircraft in question is either pre-series BV 141 B-03 V11, NC+RB,
Werknummer 02 10003, or BV 141 B-1, GK+GB,
Werknummer 02 10012.
Designed by Blohm & Voss chief engineer Richard Vogt, only 26 BV 141s were ever produced. The B version was powered by a BMW 801 A-0 engine, powering a three-blade VDM propeller.
The aircraft is painted 65/70/71. Note the excessively large under-wing
Balkenkreuze. (German Aviation 1919-1945 collection)
