Thank you, the german newspaper article in the second link is from M.S.Koziol, a founding member of our museum.

Hello Gary, this is very interesting. This aircraft (711) was build in Schwäbisch Hall and was flown to the US forces in Frankfurt by Hans Fay. It was the first 262 in flyable condition in allied hands. It was test flown in Wright Field by Russell E. Schleeh and Walter J. "Mac" McAuley, Jr. who...

Hi, I just found this : Stalingrad looked wrong for me, the big buildings were too close to an airfield there : https://www.asisbiz.com/il2/Dornier/AufklGr/pages/Dornier-Do-17P1-1.(F)AufklGr-Nacht-emblem-0A.html

Right - "über" here means "doing it by using" - please leave the German language to us Germans, we know it since birth... ;):pilotsalute:

Sammler is the German translation for the Latin word "Accumulator" - so the Bordsammler is an on-board battery pack that you can use (Anlassvorgang über Bordsammler), if no external starter car is available ("Anlassvorgang über Außenbord-Stromquelle"). Greetings from Germany Michael

Yes, it's Seattle and after a crash on their 3rd flight, the Lady is back in the air again....we have also 1 Me 108, 2 Me 109's and a FW 190 now flying in Germany....they are building a series of 13 aircraft (11 flyable and 9 already sold) including 2 FW 190 D-9 !!!!!!!

You are both right....on the FW 189 you see the drive of the variable-blade-pitch-mechanism and on the Me 163 you see the propeller of the electrical power generator !

Here's the Me 321/323 !

If it was so easy for Hartmann to reach over 300 kills from 1943 to 1945 over "weak and unexperienced" Russian pilots and planes (an allied rumor !), why is there no allied pilot, who reached 100 (or at least 50) kills over weak and unexperienced German pilots and planes from 1944 to 1945 ...

Hi, here I must correct you : the highest German Decoration was the KC with GOLDEN Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds. It was awarded only once : to the highest decorated soldier of WW II : Oberst Hans-Ulrich Rudel, the Stuka-Ace ! 2530 sorties (all time world record), 519 tanks destroyed, 1...

I don't know, where BL is, but this is the thing he saw in his rear view mirror yesterday....

Hmmm....the Duke ? :?:

OK. I'm German, but it's a rumor that we know everything........but I like spreading that rumor... :D :D :D :P :P :P :twisted:
