CASA 1145-L

The CASA 1145-L was the Spanish licence-built version of the Gotha Go 145, a German two-seat biplane of wood and fabric construction that flew in prototype form in February 1934 and served with Luftwaffe training units. After the Spanish Civil War the Spanish aircraft maker Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA (CASA) obtained a series of German aircraft licences for its new plant at Tablada in Seville, and built 25 Gotha Go 145A trainers there under the designation CASA 1145. The Spanish version stayed in service long after the Second World War had ended. It is one of three German trainer and sporting biplanes CASA built in Seville in the same years, alongside the CASA 1.131 Jungmann and the CASA 1.133 Jungmeister. The engine, dates and service life of the Spanish batch are not stated in the sources read for this entry.
