  • This was shot at the Luftwaffe Testing Center (Erprobungsstelle) Travemünde. This film shows both the center float and twin float models.

    The Ar 196 V4 (D-OVMB) shown in the first part of the video was at Travemünde for seaworthyness trials. This video was shot on December 8, 1938 with Helmut Schuster at the controls. This test sealed the fate of the center float Ar 196.

  • It's perfect for what it's designed for.

    I'd buy one!
