Not aircraft but related. Links you to a pdf about German Carrier "Graf Zeppelin" with about 70 images. It was only Carrier ever produced in Germany. It was never in service and the wreckage was found only just recently by Petrobaltic (a polish oil company) on 12. Juli 2006.

Graf Zeppelin (http://www.bundesarchiv.de/imperia/md/content/abteilungen/abtb/bildarchiv2/bundesarchiv-bildinventar-graf-zeppelin.pdf)

Find in 2006??? Why was that long lost?
Title: Re: Aircraft photos
Post by: Wingman81 on November 10, 2007, 09:33:20 PM
I have heard about two stories. The russians wanted to move it to Leningrad in 1946....on the way it ran into a mine. The other story is it came into a storm and the dragging ship came into a storm had to cut the wires. So it was sunk with 2 Torpedos somewhere 30 miles north of Großendorf (Bay of Gdansk) and nobody knew where exactly the wreck is located until they found it by chance.
Title: Re: Aircraft photos
Post by: mfg495 on November 11, 2007, 12:15:41 AM
The carrier's history and fate after Germany's surrender was unclear for decades after the war. However, the Soviets decided to repair the damaged ship. It was re-floated in March 1946. The last known photo of the carrier shows it leaving Swinemünde on April 7, 1947

For many years after this there was no information about the ship's fate. There was some speculation that it was very unlikely that the hull made it to Leningrad, as it was argued that the arrival of such a large and unusual vessel would have been noticed by Western intelligence services. This seemed to imply that the hull was lost at sea during transfer between Swinemünde and Leningrad.

One account concluded that it struck a mine north of Rügen on August 15, 1947, but Rügen, west of Swinemünde, is not on the sailing route to Leningrad. Further north, in the Gulf of Finland, a heavily-mined area difficult for Western observers to monitor, seemed more likely.

On July 12, 2006 RV St. Barbara, a ship belonging to the Polish oil company Petrobaltic found a 265 m long wreck close to the port of Leba which they thought was most likely Graf Zeppelin.

On July 26, 2006 the crew of the Polish Navy's survey ship ORP Arctowski commenced penetration of the wreckage to confirm its identity, and the following day the Polish Navy confirmed that the wreckage was indeed that of Graf Zeppelin.
She rests at more than 86–87 meters (264 feet) below the surface.

"The sunken aircraft-carrier Graf Zeppelin is Russia’s property," the Defense Ministry of Germany states.

"Berlin will not claim any rights in connection with the decommissioned WWII vessel," Germany’s news agency DDP reports with reference to the military that Germany will not claim its right to the vessel’s hull.

Unsure if this site has been listed before, however, here is a link to the Finish Defence Force Wartime Photographic Archive.

http://sa-kuva.fi/neo?tem=webneoeng

The only drawback is that you have to enter your search requests in Finish, I used Google Translate for this. The images are not titled very well and this can make the searching difficult, so I just used works like airfield, German, 109 for example.

The site states "The downloadable photographs from the Wartime Photograph Archive can be used by anyone. When you publish a photograph from the archive, mention "SA-up" as the source. (This means "Finnish Armed Forces photograph" in English.)" all downloadable images are in hires and are around 4mb in size.

Here are just a couple of the images I have found so far.

Fire on the deck of the American aircraft carrier Belleau Wood, CVL-24, after a kamikaze attack. In the photos is carrier-based torpedo bombers Grumman TBF Avenger. While patrolling to the East of Leyte island, the aircraft carrier was seriously damaged by a kamikaze hit. The kamikaze broke through the flight deck in the stern and exploded in the hangar. The fire resulted in an explosion of ammunition. 92 crew members were killed or missing. October 30, 1944.

Most of our knowledge about hypothermia came from terrible experiments on people in Nazi Germany. The testers were dressed in flight suits and life jackets of various designs, inserted a probe into the stomach of an electric thermometer and a similar thermometer-in the rectum and placed them in pools of cold water in the range of 2.5 to 12 degrees Celsius. People, freezing, experienced the most severe torment and screamed, about an hour later falling into a semi-conscious state, and the screams subsided. During the ”experiments " all the testers were killed. At a water temperature of 2.5 degrees Celsius, the strongest test subject lived to cardiac arrest for 100 minutes, the weakest 53 minutes.

Three Royal Air Force flying boats — the Short S. 14 Sarafand, the Short S. 12 Singapore II and the Supermarine Southampton-are flying in the same formation. England, 1933. The biplane in the background is similar to the de Havilland DH. 60 Moth. Most likely, the picture was taken in the area of Felixstowe air base, where the experimental naval aviation station was located, during comparative tests of these seaplanes.

Similar-looking boats had different destinies. The experimental Short Sarafand was produced in a single copy and scrapped in 1936. The Short S. 12 Singapore II was also a loner, but became the basis for a more successful one (37 units built) Short S.19 / Singapore III. But the Supermarine Southampton was one of the most successful flying boats of the interwar period — 85 produced.

Military and civilians at the crash site of the Farman HF reconnaissance aircraft.30 of one of the air detachments of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army (Рабоче-крестьянской Красной армии). The USSR, the beginning of the 1920s. Unfortunately, it was not possible to find out the fate of the pilot (and, possibly, the observer pilot) after this incident. The airplane of mixed construction — wood, steel pipes, plywood and canvas — could not withstand a collision with a strong wooden house.

Designed in 1915 in France by Farman HF.30 did not become too popular on the Western Front. But this aircraft was one of the most massive aircraft of the Russian Imperial Air Force. Under license, more than 400 Farman HF.30 samples were produced in the Russian Empire. After the October Revolution, Red Army air detachments were formed from some of the aircraft. In 1921, 127 old Farman HF remained in service.30 + 50 new airplanes were built.

"I forgot to attach the ladder"

The design of the first airplanes was not particularly convenient. So it is here — aviator Louis Paulhan from France has to strain to climb into his plane. Farman III was tall, tall. But this biplane with a pusher propeller and an additional elevator in front flew well. He inspired many European engineers to build similar airplanes. They were even called "Farman-type aircraft".

The picture was taken during one of the first air shows in the world — the International Air Show in Los Angeles (California, USA). It took place from January 10 to January 20, 1910 at Dominguez Field. The plan was invited to participate and arrived with 2 Farman III biplanes and 2 Blériot monoplanes. The Wright brothers tried to ban him from flying in court (allegedly French airplanes violated their patent for ailerons). But Louis Paulhan still flew and won a prize of $ 19,000 (546,000 modern dollars).

"Cover for bombers"

Among the cover fighters, whose task was to protect bomber groups during long-range raids, there were very interesting specimens. So, in 1916, the designer of the Vickers Limited company, Richard Leonard Howard-Flanders, designed the Vickers F. B. 11 biplane. In addition to covering bombers, it was also considered as a fighter of airships.

The highlight of the Vickers F. B. 11 was the shooter's seat, located in a separate cabin on the upper wing. This made it possible not to worry about synchronizing the machine gun with the propeller. Alas, this fighter did not go into the series. Tests have shown that there is little practical benefit from such a design. During one of the flights, the first prototype of the F. B. 11 crashed and they did not restore it. The second prototype remained unfinished.

"Inanimate testers"

Two men pull mannequins with parachutes attached to them out of the car to load them into the plane. USA, 1936. These are employees of Irvin AirChute Co. Founded in 1919 by Leslie Leroy Irvin, this company has become the world's largest manufacturer of parachutes in 20 years. Its products were supplied to 45 countries. All new models of parachutes were previously tested by such inanimate testers.

The aircraft is a Ryan B-1 Brougham. The Ryan Aeronautical company began producing this high-altitude aircraft in 1927. It cost then from 5750 to 9700 dollars, depending on the engine (today it is 90,402 and 152,505 dollars, respectively). Interestingly, it was after testing the B-1 Brougham, Charles Lindbergh ordered Ryan Aeronautical to build an aircraft for his flight across the Atlantic-the famous Ryan NYP "Spirit of St. Louis".

This Tuesday, the first 2 Pilatus PC-21 TCB arrived for the Spanish Air Force (in Spain they will receive the designation E. 27) produced by the Swiss company Pilatus Aircraft.

The contract for the purchase of 24 new RS-21 turboprop training aircraft was signed in November 2019.

The contract value was 204.75 million euros. The RS-21 aircraft should replace the CASA C-101EV Aviojet jet combat training aircraft of the Spanish production of the 1980s at the Spanish Air Force Academy as the main stage of training. The Swiss PC-21 became the winner following the results of the tender, which also involved Beechcraft T-6C Texan II turboprop aircraft(USA), Embraer EMB-314 Super Tucano(Brazil) and KAI KT - (South Korea).

"River airfield"

In 1923, a new airline, Aeroexpress Rt, started operating in Hungary. It was founded by Count Andre Jankovich-Busan and the German aircraft manufacturer Junkers Flugzeug-und Motorenwerke AG. Permits were obtained for flights on the routes Budapest-Szekesfehervar-Nagykanizza-Zagreb, Budapest-Prague and Budapest — Bucharest.

It is expected that the airline's fleet consisted of Junkers F 13 aircraft. In the photo, three of the six seaplanes that Aeroexpress Rt had are bobbing on the waves of the Danube. A river airfield was set up next to the Gellért Hotel on St. Gellert Square. The bridge in the background was named Franz Josef (today the Freedom Bridge). This airfield was operated for a short time — by 1930, the Aeroexpress Rt airline was recognized as unprofitable and stopped its work.

With the tail raised and the stops placed under the wheels, there is a prototype of the Fokker B.II fighter (aka Fokker M 10 Z). Austria Hungary, Stanislav (today - Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine), spring 1916. The picture was taken during field tests of the aircraft by the Air Force of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Judging by the pilot sitting in the cockpit in his usual uniform and the engine not running, I assume that the synchronized 7.92 mm Bergmann LMG 15nA machine gun was being tested.

Interestingly, the aircraft with b/n 03.61 was the second prototype of the Fokker M 10. If the first one was a two-seat reconnaissance/training aircraft, then our Fokker was a single-seat fighter. The differences also affected the design of the wings ? on the double wings, two pairs of racks were connected on each side, but on the single version only one pair. After the tests, Austria-Hungary ordered 22 aircraft of this type from Fokker-Flugzeugwerke. All of them were delivered without weapons and were used for training.

The world's first pilot-cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin learned to fly at the Saratov DOSAAF Aero Club, USSR in 1954-55. The main training aircraft of the aero clubs in those years was the Yak-18, which replaced the UT-2. In the first photo, the future cosmonaut is just standing on his wing. Has Gagarin's first plane survived? Yes. On May 21, 1961, just a month after the flight of the first man into space, the Saratov Aero Club donated to the local history Museum the very Yak-18 that Yuri Gagarin flew.

Italian designer Luigi Stipa in 1931 demonstrated a new way to increase propeller efficiency. For this he surrounded the propeller with a special ring fairing. This design is called an intubated propeller (sometimes called an impeller) and is considered the forerunner of the turbofan engine. One of the first to put the idea into practice (around the same time as Stipa's own Stipa-Caproni plane) were engineers Frank Nixon (pictured right) and Carl Hall of Compton, California, USA.

In 1933, they purchased the Felio SP-2 Ranger parasol monoplane, part number X-12211, from its designer Harold Felio. The airplane was modified and from the photo it is easy to see how. Engineers installed a ring fairing with guide vanes and claimed in the pages of Flying Magazine a fantastic increase in efficiency. Speed increased by "39 to 140 percent." A "reduction in landing speed" was also reported. In theory, that's what it should have been. But, alas, there is no credible confirmation that the plane flew in this fashion.
