Recently I have inherited a beautiful wooden propellor
Burnt in is the following information

110 PS
Rhone
D 260
H 230
Heine
N29018

110 PS Rhone indicates that it was once fitted to a 110 hp Gnome Rhone engine
which was used on fighters of either the German AF or Austria-Hungary AF
Heine was Germans leading propeller factory until 1945
The thing is 2,6 metres in length so that's what D 260 is possibly referring to


Yes, D could mean "Durchmesser" (diameter).

But I would really like to know what specific type of fighter it was used on
and perhaps even squadron and pilot info.


N29018 obviously is the factory serial # ("Nummer"). But I doubt there
were ever any records to which plane it had been fitted.
