RLM designations mean all those type numbers, which were determined and assigned to the manufacturers by the predesessors of RLM or the Ministery itself in order to be able to adjoin the drawing of even the smallest part of an aircraft or an a/c engine to the correct subject. That means that in this list only these numbers have to be presented which really were of RLM (or before) origin. Therefore no booty a/c where ever they came from and also no Austrian a/c constructed before mid 1938 (that were almost all of them) have to be included. Furthermore no designation stemming from a factory's own numbering sequence earns a place in this list. I avoid to delete them, because I am still pretty new in this circle, but may be one sysop understands my indication and makes tabula rasa. 10:53 9 November 2005 Corrector

Clue to the meaning of the colors?

edit

Can an explanation as to the meanings of the various colors be provided in the text? Also, for inclusiveness, whatever it is the colors designate should be indicated in words in the table, too. — Bellhalla (talk) 17:52, 5 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

No idea, hence i've been removing them. GraemeLeggett (talk) 13:19, 6 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
Was probably used to denote projects stopped/cancelled in the prototype (yellow) or project/design (orange) stage. --Denniss (talk) 16:41, 6 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Change of 609 to 262

edit

The statement, that the 8-609 as it was documented up to now is wrong has to be proven. There exists an article Messerschmitt Me 609. This cannot be simply ignored. I do not have access to referenced book for the statement the 609 would be an alternate number for the 262 from Dan Sharp. Is it proven to be reliable? This should be the first step.

If there is such a "new" knowledge, this should be clarified in the articles on the Me 609 and Me 262, not here. So I change as an compromise to two lines. --JuergenKlueser (talk) 08:27, 23 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

He-120

edit

I like to identify and see if I can get rid of 'dead' links when I find them. The He-120 has a WIKI page in the Portuguese WIKI. It isn't much, but you can look at it here:

Heinkel He-120

At that Portuguese WIKI page they have a couple of external "Ref" sites, which might be something you could attach to the description here?

I also note that there are a whole 'raft' of pictures out there on the Internet if you put "Heinkel He-120" into a search engine and then select "images".

If one picture passes WIKI rules and meets muster, it could be added to the Portuguese WIKI page at least.

In short, there are a few things that can be done. This passenger flying boat may never have gone into production, but it is not as forgotten as most such aircraft, surprisingly!
