Blohm & Voss BV 141

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)

Henschel Hs 123

Crashed Henschel Hs 123 A-1 L2+KM of Lehrgeschwader 2 (LG 2), likely photographed at Tutow, late 1930s (exact date currently unknown to me). Camouflage is the early style of 61/62/63/65. It appears that the aircraft suffered a mishap which sheared off its fixed landing gear, as evidenced by the damage to propeller.

Parts of the aircraft have apparently already been salvaged, and the missing forward fuselage panels and cowling reveal the BMW 132 Dc radial engine. A section of the detached upper wing can be seen in the foreground. (German Aviation 1919-1945 collection)
