Re: Id. german aircraft
OK, this is a Fieseler Storch, but can anyone tell me what the markings "WL-IAWF" indicate? Is it as simple as "Wehrmacht Luftwaffe" and the individual code? With no visible markings except for the swastika and a symbol for some unit on the louvre, what could this aircraft have been used for, as I guess national markings would indicate frontline use?
Re: Id. german aircraft
How can you tell it's WL-IAWF? I can't see much at all.

It's across the wing, and visible on the photo I own. It's also on the side on the fuselage, but there it's much harder to see.

Re: Id. german aircraft
Quoted from http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/markings.html
Luftwaffe aircraft engaged in second line duties such as training, communications, ambulance, transport etc, used civil registrations. In January 1939 the D prefix was deleted and substituted by the WL for Wehrmacht Luft to show military ownership. An example is WL-A+HAN, an He 59B-2 used in the ambulance role. Note that in this case the + is not a Balkenkreuz but a Red Cross on a circular White background. The exception to this were those prototype aircraft which retained full civilian registration as well as the Hakenkreuz.

Re: Id. german aircraft
I think it's an unarmed transport Type L2D3/D4

Thanks for your answer, von thoma
Do you have any wartime image of an armed L2D ?

Hello Sturm78 ;
I only saw armed versions on profiles of drawings
A gun in the turret and two in each side in a rear position
