IIRC that's one of the Ar 234 prototypes making it's first landing.

I see, is there a number for this plane?

Who flew it, etc.? Is there such information?

The prototype Ar 234V1, code TG+KB, a test flight on July 30, 1943, flown by Lt. Sommer and Lt. Goetz.

But IMHO that's the V4 coded DP+AY. Her pilots could be Walter Kröger and Ubbo Janssen.
However the V2 also could be. The code DP+AW flown by Selle.

Are you sure it's him? Judging by the picture, his belly and gondolas are painted black

These weren't painted black but these are in the deep shadow. That's the light trick.

Seen from the another angle the colours may look differently.





But as I said .. it looks like the V4 or the V2 because their codes were similar to. The images are too blurry to state wich one. IMHO these are freeze-frame from a German footage about the plane. The second shot below reveals the "DP+A?" code on the fuselage and the 'D" letter on the starboard wing undersides.

Ok. I have had to go to my basement to find a couple of books for the bomber.

According to them the pics show the V2 code DP+AW




but the one presents the V3 code DP+AX.

These photos can be easily found on the Internet.

Do you have any really rare photographs? Based on the type of photograph of Ar-234 T9+GL, W.Nr 140608 from "Commando Bones" and 4U+DH under the control of Hans Felde?
