I hang my head in shame. Cleaning my office this weekend I came across a package I received at least a year ago, and which I had completely forgotten. Stephen Craig took the time to scan an article celebrating the 50th anniversary of Bücker aircraft which was published in 1984 in "Air Britain Digest". it is by far the most complete, detailed, and interesting article I have read on the history of these aircraft.
Bestmann were once ooperated as anti-tank aircraft, Bücker designed and briefly manufactured their own engines, and Bücker produced sub assemblies for the Ju52, and the Stuka aircraft during WWII. - Who knew? Certainly not me!
Read and enjoy this document for yourself by clicking the "Bücker History " link to the left of this page.
Thank you to Stephen Craig for copying this. I do wish I had not so rudely lost it.
