Product Description

--Germany, which had an early need to mount a seaplane for reconnaissance on naval vessels, introduced the Heinkel He 60 in the 1930s.
――However, because the aircraft is a biplane and low-power engine, its performance is not good, and it quickly becomes obsolete.
--Therefore, the German Ministry of Aviation decided to develop a new carrier-based surface reconnaissance aircraft.
--The monoplane / twin float machine made by Arado will be adopted as Ar 196 in 1937.
――This machine was equipped with a new sealed windshield in the seaplane at that time, and the main wing had a structure that could be folded by rotating 90 °, which was also unusual for a seaplane and had a 20m cannon on the main wing.
--Although it was mounted on a naval vessel, it was under the unique organization of the Air Force, which was in charge of operation. I will expand and come to Japan.
――In this issue, we will introduce the development and activity of this machine using abundant manuals and illustrations and unpublished photographs in Japan.
