Ski-equipped Arado Ar 66 trainer ??+?C. The use of Schneekufen [skis] instead of wheels during winter months was not uncommon in certain sections the Luftwaffe. Also visible is the typical Ar 66 tail section, consisting of a rudder placed aft of the fuselage-top mounted tailplane and elevators.

The fuselage panel between the cowling of Argus As 10 C engine and the transition to the fabric-covered, welded steel tube rear fuselage is noticeably brighter (painted?) than the surrounding fuselage. Moreover, there appears to be a bright fuselage band immediately aft of the Balkenkreuz. Unfortunately, further information regarding this photo is currently lacking.
