Nice stuff, Jim.., but do you've any provenance concerning these items ?

... it is my belief that this kind of leather case is Stuka related, maybe Me 110, but not Me 109 or Focke-Wulf ..

It's a small Navigator case not belonging to pilots IMO.

There's a special frame where you can slide this case into, but I can't find that place in the cockpit of a Messerschmitt or FW plane.. ,...I'm not to deep into planes I must say..

Hi guys, today got the second Dreieckrechner. Unlike my first one, it has two aircraft figures on it. Why is that? Does it have some special purpose, or is just a version with all the same purpose? The instrument with 1 aircraft is made in January 1940 and the one with the 2 aircraft - March 1939

Hi Theodor,
I thought this photo might be of interest to you. Its dated 4th march 1940. (I would like to see the size of the aircraft this guy fly in, if his computer disc is anything to go by)
Regards
Jim

Great photo of the training aids! I wonder where those ended up. Sure would look cool on the wall!
