Swedish Caproni Ca.313 S 16 - request for info/data, please
Posted: Mon Apr 20, 2020 3:56 pm
Esteemed forum colleagues;
Background: I am working on some color artwork on a few of the Caproni Ca.313S aircraft, as they were operated by the Swedish Air Force during World War 2. Specifically, I would like to prepare a color plate of Ca.313 S-16A (c/n 3335), SwAF IAN "16" - and a color plate of a second Caproni Ca.313, (c/n 3304) - I am not sure what the Swedish IAN was for this a/c, which was shot down on 15 May 1944 (she was searching for the first shot-down a/c).
The Swedish-marked Caproni Ca.313, c/n 3335, was shot down 8 miles/13 km south-west of Ventspils (Windau), Latvia, on 14 May 1944, by two German Luftwaffe Me 109 G-8 fighters from 6./JG5. C/n 3304 was shot down in roughly the same area on 15 May 1944. The Swedish Caproni aircraft departed from the F11 base in Nyköping. Flight engineer Ingvar RINGSTRÖM was killed, the three survivors became German POW's. Feldwebel Paul SCHALK is the Luftwaffe pilot, who shot down the Swedish Caproni ( https://forum.flyghistoria.org/viewtopi ... 237dec9210 ). Sweden protested the incident, as the Swedish-marked Caproni a/c was shot down over international waters. Germany released the survivors back to Sweden a short while later.
My questions: I am trying to locate some higher-resolution diagrams/photographs of the (plexiglass-enclosed) dorsal MG turret (with a 7,7mm Breda-SAFAT MG) as well as some higher resolution (technical) diagrams/photographs of the frame assembly on the nose of the Ca.313. The 'Ali D'Italia, Nr. 24' booklet and the 'Caproni Ca.313' booklet by the right honorable Mikael FORSLUND, are good resources - but they have not yielded me the information I desire.
Can a forum-colleague/forum-member please either share the needed data w/me - or - help point me in the right direction, so I may locate the information I seek on my own.
Thank you very much in advance for any/all assistance efforts. Am most appreciative of same.
Grazie mille.

Arvo L.V.
