German Aviation 1919 - 1945, by Lennart Nilsson

[Richard T Eger]

This appears to be a fairly new site, but it holds great promise. The site address is:

http://www.histaviation.com/

Lennart has provided a list of German aircraft companies far more extensive than any I've ever seen and then listed for each an extensive list of the aircraft designed and/or produced. The site has lots of growing room, but, so far, Lennart has covered the following companies and aircraft with articles, photos, and drawings:

Based on the "What's New" section, Lennart is actively adding to his website. This promises to be a very extensive website covering not only the well known, but also the obscure. It will be well worth watching its progress.

Regards,
Richard
