The Arado Ar 196 was a reconnaissance seaplane that served aboard many German Navy ships during World War II, including the cruiser Graf Spee and the battleship Bismarck. First flown in May 1937, the Ar 196 entered service with the German Navy in November 1938. The Ar 196 was used for reconnaissance, coastal patrols, anti-submarine, light bombing, escorting convoys and air-sea rescue. A land-based version was used from bases in the North Sea, Baltic and the Bay of Biscay. Arado built over 500 Ar 196s before production ended in August 1944.
