Key Unit Details
- Identification Code: Aircraft belonging to the unit used the prefix/code 7R+.
- Formation & Redesignation: Formed on July 13, 1943, from the earlier unit Stab/Aufkl.Gr.125 (See) in Constanza (Black Sea) and later absorbed other commands.
- Aircraft Operated: The unit flew maritime patrol, floatplane, and reconnaissance aircraft, most notably the Arado Ar 196 (such as the Ar 196A-2 and Ar 196A-3), alongside other types like the Blohm & Voss BV 138 and earlier Heinkel He 60 or He 114 variants.
The Blohm & Voss BV 138 C-1, nicknamed the "Seedrache" (Sea Dragon) and affectionately or mockingly called the "Flying Clog" (due to its distinct hull shape), was the definitive and most widely produced variant of Nazi Germany’s primary long-range maritime patrol flying boat during World War II. Developed by the aviation division of the famous Blohm & Voss shipyard, it served as the backbone of Luftwaffe naval reconnaissance between 1941 and 1945.
