CAPTURED AIRCRAFT - ODD PHOTOS

[stona]

About the captured Ju388, is that the one in NASM museum ?

I think it is. I can make out an FE number on the fin. FE 4010 was the only Ju 388 that the Americans took IIRC.

Indeed, this is the NASM example FE 4010, wr 560049. I have seen this aircraft very recently and it is is in excellent condition and most complete.

I hope one day all NASM museum could be seen : G0229 (Horten) ; Ar196 ; Natter ; He219 (completed) ; Ta150H-(0?) and also Japanese aircrafts ! Also pretty sure there are a lot more.

Also I hope one day they'll put their Bf109G6 in the right paint shem, as now we know his history.
For the record, a former Alsacian ; region of France attached to third reich by this time (as far as I remmeber for the his origins) ; who deffected acting like engine problems during a routine flight. History says, US gave him permission to land and it is only when going to refluel the aircraft that they noticed the black cross ! As a result tower light indicator was credited with "one victory" ...unofficially of course
here you can find original paint shem and part of the history, that I learned form the mentionned French magazine : Messerschmitt Bf 109G-6 by Gael Elegoet

Njaco, as far as I remember the second picture starting from bottom shows a captured aircraft that did not ended well.
To me a test pilot crashed it while taxiing, think there are pictures of that can you confirm ?

Btw : last one was not captured ( in the end yes I guess ) but tested by japanese.

Few more pics for you :
( some cominf from the excellent post from this forum :TF209 Messerschmitt Me410 - RAE Farnborough other UK Serials - Luftwaffe Experten Message Board )

I never realised that the Japanese ad a 410, good stuff

I was thinking that as well...

I knew the Japanese had a number of German aircraft, but I never knew the Me410 was one of them

Most of these pics are Bf 109F-2 (W.Nr. 7232) from 10./(Jabo)JG 26 "Weiss 11" pilot Uffz. Oswald Fisher who was shot down on 20 May 1942 near Brighton. We also have a Bf 109E-1 (W.Nr. 3326) that was shot down and captured near Nancy, France on 6 october 1939.
