A derivative of the
Arado Ar 95 , fitted with an arrestor hook and catapult equipment as well as a taller canopy, the Ar 195 was intended as a torpedo bomber to equip Germany's firstaircraft carrier , the Graf Zeppelin. While three prototypes were flown in 1937, the design did not meet the requirements of the specification and so was rejected in favour of theFieseler Fi 167 , which was considered superior.Operator
