This picture was taken when displayed at Willow Grove NAS near Philadelphia, PA. At that time there was also a Rex, a George, and an Ar196.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
Incredible. Absolutely incredible. If I was doing a movie about the recovery of such aircraft, these photos would be very helpful.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
Great pictures of some captured aircraft by Watson's Whizzers. Thanks so much. I've been fortunate volunteering at Udvar-Hazy and have done some restoration work on the He-219 290202.
|
Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
what's really exciting for me about the He 219 images is that W.Nr. 290 202 ('USA 10' - the machine that ended up at Udvar Hazy) shows an HMS Reaper deck/hold loading number (32) that was previously unknown, and also that one of them shows that the number 'USA 6' was briefly given to a machine! Also, the HMS Reaper loading number '15' that I believed was allocated to W.Nr. 210 903 could have been allocated instead to 'USA 9' (W.Nr. 290 060) !

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
OK so the He 219 pics went for HUGE amounts, nearly $2000 each. If anyone knows who bought them I would dearly like to be put in touch with the winning bidder in the hope they will share the images for our upcoming book. Many thanks!

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
Those photos of captured ac in the States are not new so the seller must be laughing his way to the bank or on an expensive holiday! Prices paid are madness.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
It's easy to think that but some people are unaware of this site or don't do their research. And though I find the following statement a bit annoying, it is true: "It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it." There is a large auction company in the US who puts up certain collectibles and the prices keep going up. It is now to the point where the average person has no chance of getting certain things, only the wealthy.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
Look at the bidding....it is all in the final seconds and two bidders went for the high bid.....then you get this result....probably automatic high bidding....

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
Rich-suggest you have a word with Robert F as I did. Whatever, these prices are ridiculous & now good luck getting free copies-these buyers no doubt will want to recoup their outlay and as a publisher yourself and me an author, such prices would be economic suicide to the likes of us

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
Here's a photo from Freeman Field, http://www.indianamilitary.org/Freem...E-614maybe.jpg
The photo is most likely at NARA in the 126-G Record Group/photo collection along with the others. |
Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
In my observation, there are details depicted in the He 219 photographs that shine new light on these captured aircraft, so I agree with Richard.
In my view, the Werknummer of the aircraft in the first two photographs reads as 290060 which is in line with available information. The propeller blades carry the number 15. On the fuselage appears to be written USA 9. The underside of the wings appears to be black, as well as the doors of the wheel bays whereas the underside of the fuselage and the vertical tailplane are of lighter color. Researchers of He 219 including Ron Ferguson have listed the three "US He 219" as FE 612, Werknummer 210903, USA 8, "15" applied to its propeller blades FE 613, Werknummer 290060, USA 9 FE 614, Werknummer 290202, USA 10 In his Research Paper, Ron apparently did not have any records of 290060 having black undersurfaces. Although he then claimed that aircraft within the block of Werknummern 290054 - 290078 possibly had consistently applied black camouflage, he cited 290060 as an exception to that rule. Obviously, the propeller and spinner of the three He 219 may have been interchanged; that might explain why "15" propellers were on 290060 as shown in the photographs in August 1945, and potentially on 210903 at a later stage. There are also other potential explanations, so these photographs open new questions .... Kind regards Mathias |

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
There is a side view, color photo of USA 8 in the book War Prizes by Phil Butler. The caption reads: "Heinkel He 219A W Nr 210903 (later to become USA 8 and FE-612) at Grove (Karup) in Denmark in June 1945 before being painted in US markings. Mrs J. Woolams collection"
This photo shows the aircraft is light grey overall with some darker areas. |
