Or could have been the Do18, as they had several units active during the invasion plus the Bv138 was introduced into service late in 1940 but didn't see active service until early 1941, almost a year after the invasion .From the context it seems as if they were Bv 138's.
Half the cast will have been killed in the first episodeBetter still, Quentin Tarantino.
You can be sure it would be dark, violent and very entertaining...
I was not sure, and I'm away from my books which anyway may not be helpful here. On the other hand, if German wiki is anything to go by:Or could have been the Do18, as they had several units active during the invasion plus the Bv138 was introduced into service late in 1940 but didn't see active service until early 1941, almost a year after the invasion .

The Germans certainly seemed to empty out most of their hangers for practically anything that would fly during the Norwegian invasion so it is not surprising that prototypes and oddballs showed up.
Planes that were not lost went back to home airfields fairly soon?
Keeping track of planes that were not noted as destroyed may be hard.

I suppose they still do. It would be something else if the US began operating Kawanishi (aka ShinMaywa) flying boats.The Japanese used flying boats for long range patrols operating from atolls and others remote islands without having to build and maintain large airstrips.
He was teaching in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. He didn't want to go through another winter.My theory was that the Professor of course could have gotten them off the island, but chose not to. Because reasons.
