Hi Hesham,

I didn`t know this one. I eventually I`ll have to order it. Meanwhile, who has it? Is it worth the awful price?

Mainly a factory history about all the activities
from the early start tot the end.
Only a few pages about the aircraft designs.

 

[hesham]

Thank you my dear Lark,

and before you order it my dear Wurger,we can ask Lark,if it has a projects or
not ?.

 

[Jemiba]

...,if it has a projects or not ?

Not very likely, to my opinion. The company principally was founded in 1935, then still named
"Wiener Neustädter Flughafenbetriebs GmbH" (Vienna New Town Airport operating company),
building some light aircraft types in license.
The final name it got after the "merger" with Austria and was then administered by the RLM
and was used as a production site for Messerschmitt. So I can hardly imagine, that there was
an own design office, probably the prerequisite for own designs.

Thank you my dear Jemiba,

this company had a many projects,such as a two-seat light biplane of 1937,maybe called WNF-4 ?.

 

[lark]

Agree with Jemiba...
Mainly large licence production for other constructors.
Own types Wn 11 and Wn 16.

(designation WNF does not exist)

 

[Wurger]

Thank you all for the input. Since it hasn`t much on projected types I won`t buy it B)!

 

[lark]

And avoiding a disappointment..
