This is not the original "Wolfchen" Nr 841, it is one of a few duplicates that were made following the Wolf's triumphant return to Germany in 1918. A number of imposters were created for propaganda purposes as by the time Wolf returned, the war was grating on the population.

You are correct. It is a replica. I just didn't bother writing the two paragraphs that came with the picture.

They did not build the full fledged Flying Flapjack until after WW2, but a fabric covered prototype was flown early in WW2. It was supposed to be almost VTOL. Of course, as we all know VTOL is a German acronym for "Von't Take Off Loaded."

Looks exactly like a Zero except for the cowls, cowl flaps, carb scoop, oil cooler scoop. windscreen and the area in front of it, gear doors, lack of wheel flipper doors, pitot mast, razorback, fin, complete tail gear, elevators, DF loop instead of drop tank, etc.
