Messerschmitt-Caudron MeC-164 light liaison transport project......

[Caravellarella]

Dear Boys and Girls, here is an article in French about the Messerschmitt-Caudron MeC-164 design for a light liaison transport. Construction of the prototype was abandoned in February 1942......

The article comes from the 15th August 1965 issue of Aviation Magazine International......

Was that a design competing with the Siebel 204?

I wouldn't know Stéphane as I don't have any real interest in German aircraft......

You´re right Stéphane!

....Messerschmitt started the design of the Me164 as a competitor
to the Siebel Si 204.
Production of the model was planned at the Caudron works in France hence MeC 164....

The story of the French-German "collaboration" in aircraft design and building is not clear at all :It would be a great subject for a book ...

The Caudron Goéland was built in great number during the war for the Luftwaffe , and Caudron was choosed for it's successor ,the Me 308 ( later MeC 164).
By Caudron it was designated Caudron C 920 ,and a full size mockup was built.
The part of each design-buro ,Messerschmitt and Caudron is not clear : perhaps a member could help ?

The source of the 3-views of the Me 308 is the very good (a must) "Willy Messerschmitt" by Ebert ,Kaiser ,Peters .Bernard&Graefe Verlag.

Those propeller spinners remind us of the semi-automatic constant-speed propellers installed on post-war Zlins with Walter inline engines.
