CAPTURED AIRCRAFT - ODD PHOTOS

Capt. Vick · May 20, 2014

Can anyone translate what is written on the props in the last picture?

Wurger · May 20, 2014

Generally it means "from .... Berlin". But the adjective is unreadable. As a result it is quite difficult to say of "what" Berlin it is.

That last photo, with the Cyrillic writing on the props...in the background, that obelisk looks alot like the Washington monument (the peak is too pointy, though)...where was the location this photo was taken?

The caption read that it was in Russia.

Wurger · May 20, 2014

Yep.. it was taken during an exhibition of captured stuff in Moscow, 1945.

I have a VHS tape of this call Operation...ah...bugger me! I forgot!

What a strange name for an Operation. I can just see the briefing "Right Gentlemen, this is Operation 'Ah, bugger me, I Forgot', which commences at 23.00hrs tonight. Your task ...."

Do335 with U.S. markings

* Warning! * Do NOT look at the foreground!! There are mangled He162s and Me262s there that may make some folks sick to the stomach...if you are one of these people, then either place a piece of paper over the foreground, showing only the Do335 or click your back button to leave alltogether.

Dammit Dave, you know the first thing I'm going to do is look at it! (nice pic btw).
