An FW-190A, White 11, of II/JG4 attacked the USAAF base at St Trond during Operation Bodenplate on 1 Jan 1945, was slightly damaged by ground fire and the pilot, Walter Wagner; landed, and was captured. The 404th Fighter group grabbed the airplane, painted it red and planned to make it flightworthy, but had to move from the field before they could complete the job.
From Roger A. Freeman's "The Ninth Air Force in Color."
