Focke-Wulf Fw 44 Stieglitz Manuals Collection
Collection Overview
This digital collection brings together 13 original manuals dedicated to the Focke-Wulf Fw 44 Stieglitz in its main operational variants, D, E, F, G and J.
While not a complete archive of all surviving historical material, it represents a curated, accessible, and well-organised selection.
The Fw 44 Stieglitz was one of the Luftwaffe’s principal basic and aerobatic training aircraft, valued for its simple construction, reliability, and good flying characteristics, which led to its widespread use in flying schools and in the initial training of pilots.
The collection is ideal for enthusiasts, researchers, restorers, and collectors wishing to explore the structure, construction configurations, equipment, maintenance, and training use of one of the most representative German training aircraft of the pre-war period and the early years of the Second World War.
What the Collection Includes
Within the 13 manuals, you will find a structured body of technical and descriptive documentation: construction manuals and structural descriptions (Baubeschreibung) applicable to multiple variants, general aircraft manuals, concise operating instructions (Kurzbetriebsanleitung), illustrated spare parts catalogues (Ersatzteilliste), illustrated training material, presentation brochures, and shared documentation not tied to a single variant. The presence of manuals common to several versions allows for direct comparison of constructional differences and the evolution of the design.
PDF and HTML indexes are included to facilitate consultation.
Languages
Most of the manuals are in German, as expected from original Luftwaffe documentation. One brochure is available in both German and English
