Dear list members !

I am writing to you in English to reach all of you -
and to save me a little time during my research work.

I am working as a freelance journalist and film maker.
Currently, I am pre-researching my next project
"The Seaplane port of Selent near the German Baltic -
a technical and social survey of an historic site"

Together with my partner, archeologist Dr. Elizabeth Saggau,
I am searching detailled information on the following issues:
-    History of the seaplane airport from its very beginnings,
-    Structure of the seaplane flying army commands,
-    Other locations of German seaplane airports in WW2,
-    Tasks of seaplane as SAR, transport, surveillance etc.
-    Images of seaplanes in factory, port, air, on land etc.

I visited quite a number of brilliant pictures on the web,
especially at "www.unsere-luftwaffe.de" and "www.luft46.com"
(and like to thank the owners of their valuable historians work),
but I am missing details on where and when they were taken.
Guestimated by the landscape, it could well be Northern Germany,
but I need to know it precisely.

Although this project is meant to be a journalistic documentary,
social life of soldiers, shore crew and citizen around Selent cannot
be neglected, and will receive special attention.

Sufficient funding provided, it is also planned to visit archives,
museeums of history and armed forces, both in Germany and abroad.
As authors, we shall be highly thankful for any suitable contacts provided,
both institutional and personal.

Please excuse if you find this email at other places,
but history research on such a matter is a hell lot of work !
In any case we would like to thank all supporters in advance.

Thanks for attention.
