Benz Bz.III and Bz.IIIa Flugzeugmotor
« on: July 23, 2021, 03:18:25 AM »
Anyone have a link or pointer to some good pictures, images, or drawings of the Benz III 150 ps  ( hp ) or Benz IIIa 160 ps ( hp )  aeroplane engine?
 
I can usually get Google to cooperate and help find some of these things but today it is letting me down.  I am finding some information like on Wikipedia, the Wing Nuts Wings website, the scanned manual on the Czech museum web site, and some pictures of well made 1/32 Wing Nut Wings engines. 

There is plenty to be found on the Mercedes D.xxx series ( i.e. D.II and D.III engines ) but there seems to be not so much on the Benz engines. Not surprisingly I do find some mislabeled pictures of Benz III and IIIa engines as Mercedes and vice versa.

cheers, Graham

Alexis, unfortunately that link leads to a misidentified Benz Bz.IV, not a Bz.IIIa.

Hi Richard,

I'm happy to share it with everyone here. It is a 42 page PDF document from the Polish Aviation Museum in Krakou.

I just don't know how to share it, so any help with that is appreciated.

Richard, that seems to be a nice project!
Is that real copper on top?

It is, it is too large for my vac forming 'machine' so I thought I'd try working it in metal sheet
