Background

The Arado Ar196 was the standard floatplane of the German Kriegsmarine and operated from battleships and cruisers. Between 1938 and 1944, more than 500 were built, which proved particularly effective in the reconnaissance and hunting of submarines. The agile aircraft gave its two-man crew excellent visibility and, thanks to its robust design, was capable of taking off and landing even in rough seas.
