leyreynolds Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Can anyone recommend a good reference which includes drawings please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHWinter Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 There were so many different Tauben, by so many different companies... I can recommend Windsock Datafile #104 „The Taube at War“, by Peter M. Grosz, as well as „Die Jeannin-Stahltaube A.180/14“, by Marian Kryzan and Holger Steinle. Both include a lot of drawings of different Tauben. The latter publication is mainly about the restoration of Jeannin Stahltaube 180/14 and although it is written in german language there are so many photos, you can't go wrong... Here's a good offering (I have no affiliation with the seller!): (https://www.ebay.de/itm/Die-Jeannin-Stahltaube-Zeuge-der-Luftfahrtgeschichte-OVP/154160105479?hash=item23e4a88807:g:HS4AAOSwlK1fXkOs ) But I'd start with the Windsock Datafile - it is worth every penny (https://www.windsockdatafilespecials.co.uk/104-the-taube-at-war-237-p.asp ).

leyreynolds Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 Thanks for that. I'm just starting WW1 aircraft and would like to include a Taube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I suppose, you should consider, that about 10 factories at least produced this a/c. Because the shape of wing comes from the botanic and there was no chance at all to get a patent on this. Rumpler was the most famous company who built it. There are so many different versions, it may be considered the same, if you say you want to build a Spitfire. First of all, what do you want. A civil or military Taube. They also flew in the skies in Libya before WW1. Make up your mind please! Happy modelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leyreynolds Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 Having done a little research I'm thinking of the Italian one in Libya or perhaps a Rumpler Taube early in WW1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that neither of these books is available at a reasonable price, so does anyone please have details of the span and length dimensions for Taube's built by the various manufacturers? I gather that the overall shape stayed constant but dimensions varied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHWinter Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I will see what I can do for you, leyreynolds. Maybe I'll have some time this werkend. Not really cheap, those publications; not in the true sense of the meaning...😁 Especially when it comes to shipping around the world. This is what I found: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&cm_sp=SearchF-_-home-_-Results&an=&tn=Jeannin+stahltaube&kn=&isbn= and this: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?isbn=9780911852820&n=100121503&cm_sp=mbc-_-ISBN-_-used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
