these pictures are awesome but they don't do the plane any justice this is a beautiful plane in person and if you can go see one in person I totally recommend it
Out of interest, here's another pic of "The Last Straw" shown at Post #81. Apparently, this airframe flew in the SWP Theater and had been one of the aircraft flown into Hickam Field during the Pearl Harbor attack:
42-30336 (385th BG, 548th BS, *Miss Nonalee II*) attempted to reach Sweden with mechanical problems Oct 9, 1943, but came down at Norholm Mark, near Varde, Denmark. 1 evaded, 10 POW. Repaired by Luftwaffe and flown as 7+8 MACR 824. "Miss Nonalee II" was assigned to KG 200 but crashed near Bad Voeslau at the transfer flight to Vienna on 28 August 1944. It was salvaged and transported to Wiener Neustadt for repair which wasn't finished before Russian troops arrived in March/April 1945. The aircraft wore still the Rechlin markings 7+8 at the transfer flight
