DFS See Adler and Reiher
In the test pilot thread I mentioned Hanna Reitsch and some of her
aircraft flown. I mentioned the See Adler (Sea Eagle) amphibian glider which most of you have never heard of. Here is a photo of it(1935): http://es.geocities.com/los_caranchos/images/F44.jpg This was Hans Jacobs designed glider that was to be used for military purposes but was eventually cancelled. Jacobs went on to design DFS military aircraft, among them the famous DFS 230 assault glider of which Hanna Reitsch test flew the first transport version. Also of some interest is the DFS Reiher of 1938: http://es.geocities.com/los_caranchos/images/F58.jpg This glider has been replicated by OSC Wasserkuppe: http://www.osc-wasserkuppe.de/flugze...eiherflug.jpeg Rob
