Excellent!!

Chris,

Am I remembering right, did'nt Rommel also use a Fw-58C as a transport as well.

 

[Njaco]

Yes, I believe so but haven't found any pics. I'm gonna scan some pics I found that he took early in NA from his Storch. He was a photog of sorts.

Very cool, my libray is a mess. Well more like I dont remember where any thing is at. I found one picture of Rommel walking away from his storch. I will wait to scan and see what you post. Might be the same picture.

 

[Njaco]

Naw, go ahead! Mine are from the plane mostly landscape shots that he took while flying.

Chris,

According to the book Luftwaffe in the North African Campaign 1941-1943 this is Rommel's Fw-58C

 

[Micdrow]

Here is the Storch!!! Source same book as above for Fw-58

Enjoy!!!

 

[Njaco]

[Njaco]

I figured as much and the code on the fuselage looks to be a letter off. But still nice.

I'm getting together some pics that Rommel took hile flying in the STorch.
