There is a fantastic video of the central float version of the Arado 196.

didn't look like anyone went out of their way to pick up the crew.

Shure, but would you rather be burned to death or swim for it. Any way to my knowledge this has never been shown as a photo in german documents or books.

I will be posting some photos of various 196 shortly.

Cheers TASSE.

Here are some pics.

Arado 196 v-1 with v-3 overflying.



Arado 196 v-3



Arado 196 v-4



Arado 196 a-3



I have never seen a photo of a v-2. Perhaps it was the aircraft in the video.

More to come.

Someone asked for a photo of Ar 196V2 ?



Answered.
V3 & V4 were the same photos already shown.

So which one was it that was burned in the video ?

TASSE.

[MrWidgeon]

Ar 196V4 D-OVMB was the one in the video.

[TASSE]

Thank you Mr W. That makes things in order.
