The first one is a Arado Ar 96 the next is some generic Fokker of the 1930s (lots to choose from) not sure about the third but it looks like a Arado design

Hello all. My first post here.

Photo nº 2 is a Heinkel He-45.
Photo nº 3 is a BFW later Messerschmitt M 20 b2 of Lufthansa, called "Eifel", Wr number 548, ex- D-2352.
The Serial WL- only was used between January-September 1939. The photo was capted in this year.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
Why the strange spinner on the 1st one?

...

Without going to the books, regarding the propeller, I suspect this had to do with the "constant speed" mechanism of the propeller.

The Czechs used a similar device on the spinner of their props -- in Zlin aircraft which were used in aerobatic competition. I have been involved in such competitions for 40 years. As I remember, it eliminated the need for a prop governor as an engine-mounted device -- as the Americans usually did.

But I am sure someone will pipe in if I am wrong.

Regards,

Mike
