Ok, I could be wrong but I think thats a Bf 110 in the first pic.

and the last is a pic Erich should be familiar with!! I think its from a different angle of a crate from his cousin's JG.

EDIT: yep, I was right!

correcto Chris and from the same staffel an ex-Sturm fw, if you can view the image closely you will see and find the old panzer plates on the side of the cockpit plus look at the number at the top of the tail.

the cool pic above shows a crate from I. gruppe showing the reverse colours of yellow red which were on I. gruppe machines for a time, and also please note the outboard 2cm wing coverings.

 

[Njaco]

I saw that also but didn't know about reversing the bands. I wasn't sure at first. Cool!

 

[Wayne Little]

haven't seen that first Jg301 image before....COOL!

I had to chuckle at the caption that 'it had to be a B-17 because a B-24 can't fly that low' - show that to a Tidal Wave survivor who may have brought home corn stalk clippings in their bomb bay..

The prospect of cleaning up All these remains must have been soooo overwhelming.
Cannot imagine ho my head would be spinning.

How did anyone manage to land a B-17........ if it couldn't fly low
