Arado Ar 199

The Arado Ar 199 was a floatplane aircraft built by Arado Flugzeugwerke. It was a low-wing monoplane, designed in 1938 to be launched from a catapult and operated over water. The enclosed cockpit had two side by side seats for instructor and student, and a third rear seat for a trainee navigator or radio operator. Two prototypes were built, but the Luftwaffe's requirements changed and no production aircraft were built. The two prototypes, "D-IFRB" and "D-ISBC" did serve as trainers and were used for air-sea rescue operations from Northern Norway. [ cite journal | last = Tilford Jr. | first = Earl
