  • Hansa Brandenburg W-29 1918 propeller

    I am looking for information, photos etc re the propellers that were used on the 1918 Hansa Brandenburg W-29 seaplanes. Axial, Niendorf, other brands.

    The background to this question: the attaxched photo shows a propeller from an uncle's estate who was a navy air force pilot just after WW1.The propeller was made by Hembrug in The Netherlands. In 1918 the Dutch navy confiscated foreign airplanes that made emergency landing in neutral Dutch waters. These planes - after repairs and testing - were often added to the navy's own airplane fleet. This propeller may have served as test propeller on the Hansa Bransdenburg W-29 nr. 2501 that was confiscated in October 1918.
    In that case, Hembrug would have been asked to make copies of the plane's original prop that would be used for testing before the plane would be put into Dutch active service.

    So I am especially interested in info and photos of propellers on 1918 Hansa Brandenburg W-29 seaplanes. Any info is highly appreciated!
