Collection of Manuals – Focke-Wulf Fw 56 “Stösser”
Collection Overview
This digital collection brings together 9 original manuals dedicated to the Focke-Wulf Fw 56 “Stösser”, covering the A variant and general documentation not tied to a specific version.
While it does not represent a complete archive of all surviving historical material, it offers a carefully selected, well-organised and accessible set of primary sources.
The Fw 56 Stösser was a single-seat advanced trainer developed to familiarise pilots with high-performance fighter handling, bridging the gap between basic training aircraft and frontline fighters. Its role made it an important step in the Luftwaffe pilot training system during the pre-war and early Second World War period.
This collection is ideal for enthusiasts, historians, restorers and collectors interested in Luftwaffe training aircraft, construction methods and instructional philosophy.
What the Collection Includes
The 9 manuals provide a varied range of technical, descriptive and training documentation, including aircraft handbooks, construction descriptions (Baubeschreibung) with photographs, short operating instructions and brief technical descriptions, illustrated spare parts catalogues, fuel system training material, technical publications, and promotional brochures.
