Seen in the Technical Museum in Berlin. Raab-Katzenstein was a Kassel based aircraft manufacturer in the 1920s with the Grasmücke (a gnat or midge) being built in 1928. The company went bankrupt in 1930 when their main pilot Gerhard Fieseler bought the glider part of the company and changed the name to the far better known Fieseler.

This type, the Taube, first flew in 1910. This original example is seen in the Technical Museum at Berlin. It is actually A118/13

Formerly D-ENTE this aircraft is preserved in the Technical Museum in Berlin. The tail at the bottom is, I believe, that of a Ju-88

Seen in the marvellous Technical Museum in Berlin, this photograph also indicates how tightly packed in the aircraft are.

Perhaps I am perverse, but amongst the beautifully restored exhibits in the marvellous Technical Museum, this one was my favourite. Belonging to the St G.5 Squadron on the Northern front this aircraft crashed in Norway on 2nd July, 1942. The wreck was found in 1994 and acquired by the museum in 1997. It's preservation in this condition seems more poignant than if it was restored. Magnificent !

About 50 of these aircraft, designed in 1937 were built with this 1941 built example being the last survivor. During WW II it was used by the Luftwaffe as a courier aircraft with the code VA-HP. Acquired by the Technical Museum in 1994 it was restored to airworthiness but is now displayed in the museum.

This is a magnificent restoration of this 1942 built fighter in the Technical Museum in Berlin. The aircraft crash landed on a frozen lake between Murmansk and Leningrad on January 11th 1943. It sank when the ice thawed and was recovered in 1991 and was acquired by the museum in 1997.
