Andy Kelly, e-mail, 06.10.2007 20:15 In the film "Where Eagles Dare" there is a German helicoptor shown, "My toy" as the general calls it. I have looked through the designs shown here and this is the closest to the film one (which was a Bell 47 prod 1946). Did any of the German models ever make it past the experimental stages? e.g. Could they have used a mock up of this to make the film more realistic? This is only a light hearted comment. Not to be taken too seriously cos the germans had lost air control by 1944 and a helicopter would have lasted about 10 mins in the air.
