Grunau Baby II!



My Grandfather flew one of thoose, I would love to have it in game!






During WW2 it was used as a trainer for the Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps (NSFK) on the 1930s, when the Luftwafe was officialy formed the NSFK pilots were transfered to it. I belive Adolf Galland begun flying on the Grunau Baby, before being transfered to Italy for fighter training and later into the Luftwaffe. Its a very nice Glider and it would give IL-2 a different aspect, a more "sportive" one.

Cheers!

My first single seat glider too. If you looked carefully at the rudder, you could still make out the overpainted swastika. hock:

Edit: This is NOT a real Gunau Baby II. A Grunau Baby does not have a covered skid and does not have a wheel either (I recall touchdowns being quite abrupt 8) ).
