Please contact us and we'll send you a short list of the words and sentences that needs to be translated.
Aircraft manufacturers are bought and merged all the time resulting in new names for old aircraft types.
For instance, the DC-9 is listed under 'McDonnell Douglas', not 'Douglas' or 'Boeing'.\n\nAt the bottom of the list you will find entries of smaller manufacturers of which we do not have that many photos.

When a aircraft owner is shopping for a preheater, he should find that the reputable manufacturer of the unit is able to discuss what temperatures his unit will produce--as measured at the crankcase of the particular engine--and the effect wind chill will have on this performance.
Manufacturers of preheaters make many claims in their advertising--some claim BTU's of heat, others watts of power, and still others that you can "start in only 10 minutes" (or 15, or 20).

Regardless of whether the tug pulls your aircraft from a heated hangar or homemade devices are employed in the backcountry, the goal is to deliver heat to your engine, battery and cockpit, and take the necessary steps to preserve it.
Engine preheating systems from manufacturers like Tanis and Reiff, which incidentally cost less than one replacement cylinder, are easy installations and require only a reliable AC power source.
Aircraft and engine operating manuals, service bulletins, trained mechanics and experienced pilots should all be consulted.

No Luftwaffe aircraft were lost during the campaign, but the force's role proved to be controversial in Germany because of the strong sentiment still present in the population that is opposed to the use of force by Germany in international affairs.
