Manfred Weiss WM-21 tactical reconnaissance aircraft

[Sagittario64]

Can anyone tell me about the WM-16/21? Strangely enough theres no wiki article about it and other information is scarce. I know the hakans aviation pages mentions it more than a few times but it doesnt really say more than some missions they undertook
