Other German data has him at Berlin-Schöneberg.

British patent data has him located at 33, Friedrichsruhrstrasse, Berlin-Grunewald, Germany.

Anton Flettner Espacenet results show extensive patterns of British filings pertaining to aircraft steering. These naturally lag vis-à-vis German parent patents. We are working out some of the relations. The same bulk results show Spanish filings, further lagging. The results also show early work, some in collaboration, involving remote-control of motors. The results show a later expansion into Austrian and Swiss filing.
