| Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power Series (Propeller Powered) HA1502 CCF Harvard Mk. 4, Flugdienstaffel Technische Schule 1, Kaufbeuren, Bavaria, Germany, 1960 |
In 1955 the USAF developed a technical training center that taught 39 different courses
such as aircraft and engine repair, air traffic control, weapons and ammunition,
electronics, aerial photograph nature, intelligence and logistics. In 1956 schools were set
up in 5 – 6 locations within Germany with one being in Kaufbeuren in the SW corner of
Bavaria. This was considered the birth of the modern day Luftwaffe but it wasn’t until
November 1957 that full control was assumed by Luftwaffe.
Harvard IV and the schools
555 of the ultimate version, the Harvard 4 were produced by the Canada Car and
Foundry during the 1950s and supplied to the RCAF, USAF and Bundeswehr. Through
the Mutual Defence Assistance Program (MDAP) Canada supplied 135 Harvard Mk IV for
$1 per unit to the Luftwaffe. The Harvard Mk IV was used mainly with the FFS “A“ (flight
leader school) in Landsberg between 1956 and 1966. Some planes went to the TSLw “1“
(Technical Training School) in Kaufbeuren where 39 different courses were taught.
