The last picture of the He-111 has had the question mark replaced by what looks like a "G". Wonder what the reason was on that.

Beaupower,

I think that was the original German code, and painted out later. 8)

Cheers

Can I ask - where these odd planes actually used on combat missions for their new owners?

I can imagine that causing problems..an AAA gunner for instance would be likely to see a HE111s distinctive shape and shoot at it, regardless of markings etc.

I wouldn't feel too confident flying one over my own lines.

guess it would depend on how desperate you were. ammo/resupply might be an issue, so would enough hours fpr the pilot to be combat ready and not just fodder. my dad said he once blew past a flight of 3 109s being led by a 51 with a nazi markings...he was low on ammo and fuel so didnt turn and neither did they...but at that point catching them would have been tough.

How in the h-eck did a US pacific theatre fighter aircraft end up with NAZI markings in a Scandanavian nation's AF?

It wasn't an attacking aircraft but the one that always makes me smile was the Fiesler Storch that was used by AVM Broadhurst as his personal transport. He flew Churchill in it to visit the RAF soon after D Day. The idea of flying the Prime Minister into the combat zone over notoriously trigger happy AA crews in a German aircraft must have been asking for trouble. I have a photo somewhere that I will try to dig out.

I thought this photo was interesting in that we had a 109 on display in Kansas City in early 1943.
