Krup, you know that second plane in his pic was a P-51..... right  :headscratch:?

If you look a bit closer, you can see that the first picture I posted has many similarities to the picture of the C.205.  :D

Btw the drawings are incorrect because the horizontal stab was completely asymetric.

It figured if it flew high and fast enough noone would ever see it.
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

It was a competitor to the Fw 189 for the role of army cooperation and liaison plane for the Wehrmacht. Cockpit visibility was of the utmost importance.



The Fw 189 otoh is quite beautiful!
