leyreynolds Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 As I now have both the Huma and A-Model kits, I've started looking for reference articles/books - so far to no avail. Any suggestions please, even if in German? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I've got nothing, so whatever's there must be thin on the ground - I'll let you know if I find anything. DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michou Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) Books on the Do Wal. Dornier Wal - Flugzeuge die Geschichte machten by Heinz Nowarra, Motorbuch Verlag, 1993. Dornier Wal "a Light coming over the Sea" by M Michiel van der Mey, LoGisma editore, 2012 (third edition). Nowarra's book is the most useful from the modeller's point of view. Also, check the Seawings site: http://www.seawings.co.uk/DornierWAL-WRgal.htm Mike Edited December 27, 2016 by Michou Added reference to seawings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesa Jussila Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Some information can be found from this book: https://www.amazon.com/RED-STARS-Vol-2-German-Aircraft/dp/952502606X Of course this is not only about Wal, but some interesting photos when used by soviets.

Jure Miljevic Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 A book(let) in Russian, Летающая лодка Дорнье ''Валь'' by Б. Р. Котельников and published by Гангут. Its PDF version can be found on all the usual places on the web. Cheers Jure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Ley, can you say something on comparison of those two models (A-model and Huma). They are of two different versions of Wal. A-model has squared wings, Huma has rounded tips, for instance. But - are they close to each other in what should be the same or they looks like model of two different airplanes? Can you do some comparing photos? It could be very interesting .... Cheers J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leyreynolds Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 That's what I'm searching for references for. I've ordered the two books mentioned above and hope that they will help.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempestfan Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I thought there was a Waffen Arsenal title dedicated to it, but it seems it was only part of the coverage of #171. Should be available via Abe. Googling "... Dornier Wal" also brings up a book by Manfred Griehl (also Motorbuch). While I am not a great fan of his, it should be better than anything by Nowarra. There is also a downloadable PDF by ADL , look at adl-luftfahrthistorik.de/dok/dornier_Wal - I came across it Googling waffenarsenal dornier wal.

leyreynolds Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Thanks for that. My quest continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leyreynolds Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 I've now received both books mentioned above and at first glance I'm no wiser about the development of the Wal series and their differences. I hope that a close read of both and reference to the two kits will make matters clearer. What the world, or at least Admiral Puff and myself, needs is a comprehensive book in English on this fascinating aircraft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempestfan Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Have you checked the pdf I mentioned? It's part 4, so logic suggests there are at least 3 other instalments. I am in the middle of the Atlantic on vacation and posting from the mobile, otherwise I 'd have given you the link. (No idea how to do this. ..)
