Any detail about this? All I know it is a 1916 manufacture. Interesting camouflage.

Combat Warplanes / Re: Engine switch in Hurricane
« on: November 25, 2007, 09:11:46 PM »
One sample of Hurricane was converted to DB engine. Reason is the problem with delivery on RR engines for licence manufacture in Yugoslavia and some stock of DB engines was available in the moment.

I get this from a friend:
Hi Srecko,
I have already spent quite a time on this one, but have no conclusive answer to it at the moment. I have searched (intuitively) in the German area, probably end of the war, to the equivalent of guided missiles. That produced the different Siemens torpedo bomber which could carry a torpedo and was guided by wire and another one, which may be this machine.
The Flieger-Funker-Versuchabteilung of the Flugmeisterei Adlershof [in the background of your picture can possibly be seen a big hangar door at Adlershof ] made a series of radio controlled aircraft and missiles under the command of Engineer Erich Niemann. working together with Professor Schmidt and Villehad Forssman (of the Mannesmann-Mulag factory). Trials with radio controlled and with missiles were made. Their machines used the code-name 'Fledermausapparate' [Bat-machine].
There is some similarity with the French Détable radio-controlled pilot less aeroplane of 1917, which also had rather curious 'wing' construction.
I will search on.
Cheers
Kees
