1.- Macchi MC-205 Veltro
2 3.- Reggiane Re-2002
4 5.- Savoia Marchetti SM.82 and 84

Hi,
just one comment about Macchi C 205V used by Germans.

After the 8th September armistice, those Veltros present at Cerveteri (near Rome) airport were requisitioned by the Germans and assigned to the II Gruppe of JDG 77. This unit was unique in being armed integrally with Italian aircraft. By the end of December 1943, these aeroplanes returned in Italian hands as they were officially handed to the 1° Gruppo Caccia of the just created Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana. During this brief usage of Veltros, Germans intercepted and shot down at least two P-38 of the 14th Fighter Group.
Cheers
Alberto

For the ones that are curious about the strange pose of the Me110 captured by the swiz


The photo shows Messerschmitt Bf 110 G-4 W.Nr. 5545 unit code 2Z+OP at the Duebendorf airfield in Switzerland during radar tests. Some time earlier, on March 15-16, 1944 Oberfeldwebel Helmut Treynogga and radio-operator Heinz Schwarz from 6./NJG6 departed from Echterdingen on board of Bf 110 G-4 2Z+OP. Their mission was to intercept an RAF bomber formation headed for Munich. The crew got lost and landed in Duebendorf, Switzerland and was taken into custody. The Bf 110 remained in Switzerland. However, the crew was returned to Germany about 5 weeks later. The Swiss tested the radar of the Bf 110 by pointing the Bf 110 upwards. Then a group of Swiss fighter planes flew overhead. That's when this unusual photo was taken.

That first shot in post #74 really gives you an idea of the size of the Do-335, especially compared to the BF-110 and what look like an Me-410, Ju-88 and some other aircraft.
