Interesting. That suggests that the drawings for the "full carrier" version exist somewhere.As mentioned above, I do think that it is likely that the "full carrier" version of A-III/A-IV would be a larger analog of A-I, at least as regards the flight deck at the bow. They seem to have liked the idea of a bridge at the bow for this series, and that precludes the sort of enclosed bow that we saw on the 15,000 and 18,000 ton ships.In my opinion, these German designs had too little hangar and flight deck space for their size, and that is reflected in their small air wing. Anything they could do to increase the size of the hangar and flight decks would have been an improvement.DRW
