The official AHF Axis aircraft quiz thread

Marcus · Post by **Marcus** » 18 Aug 2005 16:47

We've had several different quizes running here in the forum for a while with great success and now that this new section has been opened, I'm starting one here too.

The rules are very simple:
The first one to post the correct answer to a question, posts a new question (must be on the aircraft used by the Axis nations) and so on.

According to my reference (Lentäjän näkökulma) Finns tried to buy BMW-801s from Germany in 1941. I'm not rather sure if the information is correct since I read the book long time ago, so maybe we call this a draw?

What's the source of using Mercuries?

Seems there isn't any "active" questions at the moment. So, one more try to start the quiz

Estonian manned NSGr 11 used plane, about what pilots had following joke

Dutch plane what was taken away from Danes by Germans and was given to Estonians to fight Russians.

Martti was first

And the plane on the picture was left to Ülemiste by Estonian pilots due of engine failure, so - Estonians gave it to Russians who didn't use it against Germans - will be the correct last part of the sentence

And should I also mention that they took one as present with for Swedes
