EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Focke-Achgelis E-19 prototype of the FA-330 autogyro, a groundbreaking aviation innovation used extensively by the German Navy during World War II. With around twenty units built, this aircraft extended the visual range of U-boats from a mere 5 miles to an impressive 25 miles. The FA-330, designed by Focke and Achgelis, was a significant advancement in military aviation technology during the 1930s and 1940s. This particular E-19 prototype, as seen in the image, was specifically adapted for use aboard U-boats. Its unique design, featuring a rotor that remained stationary while the fuselage and propeller rotated, enabled the aircraft to take off and land vertically, making it an ideal choice for the confined spaces of a submarine. The FA-330's introduction marked a turning point in naval warfare, providing U-boat commanders with a new level of reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities. Its extended visual range allowed them to detect enemy ships at greater distances, increasing the chances of successful attacks and ensuring the safety of the U-boat crew. This photograph, taken during the second flight of the E-19 prototype aboard a U-boat, captures a pivotal moment in military aviation history. The FA-330's impact on naval warfare during World War II is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of its designers and the German Navy's forward-thinking approach to technology adoption.
