Arado Ar 199
The Arado Ar 199 was a floatplane aircraft.
It was a low wing monoplane, designed in 1938 to be launched from a catapult and operated over water.
The enclosed cockpit had two side-by-side seats for instructor and student, and a third, rear seat, for a trainee-navigator or radio operator.
Two of the 5 prototypes, D-IFRB and D-ISBC did serve as trainers and were used for air sea rescue operations from Northern Norway.
