I just got a good book on KG-200 and it has some great pics of captured Allied aircraft in German paint schemes.

i bet that,ll be an interesting read daig

A good one for captured aircraft also is Strangers in a Strange Land. Some of the stories are a little incorrect, but the pictures are great. They also show the reclamation yards where they stored the pieces.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

That would be interesting.

 

[jrk]

very interesting.anything to do with aircraft is interesting to me.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Agreed. I like reading the stuff though that is more obscure like stuff like this rather than "This was the Hurricane, it had a top speed of....."

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yeah obscurity is interesting. Its why I like the RA.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Agreed

Interesting. Any more to show us? I used to know a website with a lot of captured German equipment and it also featured some that the Allies had captured such as Me-109 in British Airforce colours. I think that was shown from memory captured in the Battle of Britain.

I have a great book it's called strangers in a strange land by squdron/signal publications it follows the story of Allied planes from when they were shot down to when they used them in the luftwaffe or recycled them

Its not got much to do with aircraft as a such, but the amount of pictures you see of Matilda IIs in german colours and the amount of russian tanks in Finnish colours is amazing

Adler, if you could scan me a couple of (decent) pics of Dornier Do200s, I'd be grateful!

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Sure I can scan some pics of some captured B-17s. What kind of pics are you looking for. There are plenty in this book and I dont want to scan all of them.

I will need to go looking to try to remember the site that some of mine came from... I can't remember. Too long ago.
