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.

Cheers

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
 
Ps : Thank you Marauderman and Stona ! :)

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 :

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.
