THE LETOV S-228E AND THE ESTONIAN AIR DEFENSE 1932-1940

[Marcel Kares]

Hi all Estonian aviation enthusiasts.

I am amateur Czech air historian and I am much interested in the Czech planes serving in world (It is my real hobby). The air forces of the Baltic states are of great interest to me. The Estonian Air Force and the Czech planes serving in it seem to me especially interesting (Latvian and Lithuanian too). Therefore I prepared with my Estonian friend Toivo Kitvel new book -THE LETOV S-228E AND THE ESTONIAN AIR DEFENSE 1932-1940. This book contains 80 pages + color cover (82 photos, 2 color photos, 1 mape and one color profile of Estonian Letov S-228E). The text is in Czech + 5 pages of English summary. The book will become available on the next month - April 2008 (supposed price – cca 10 Euro + postage). More information of the book here: mkares@seznam.cz

I would like to ask you for something.
Now, my friend Mr. Robert Koraba (owner of firm Kora Models) woulds like to prepare resin kits of the Estonian aircraft PN-3, PTO-4 and Latvian fighter VEF Irbitis I-16 in 1/72 scale + decal´s set of Henschel Hs 126 in foreign service (decals for Spain, Greek, Estonian and Soviet version). Robert produces kits of a little known aircraft, armoured vehicles, submarines and decals sets. He makes among others Latvian aircraft Svenska Aero S-IIa (with Latvian decals), VEF Irbitis I-12 and I-15. His last kit is Lithuanian ANBO VIII and now he preparing ANBO IV.
I am afraid there is very little information on this subject. He has only some photos and scale drawings (unfortunately of poor quality and without details) of these Estonian and Latvian aircraft. This website is great and therefore I contact you with request. We need photos or drawings of cockpits – instrument boards of these planes (PN-3, PTO-4), good scale drawings (plans) or another photos of these aircraft (PN-3, PTO-4 and Hs 126 B-1).

I would much appreciate any information you might send me.

Thank you very much for all your possible help.

Sincerely yours, Marcel Kares from Czech Republic.
