Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

The Ju 88 in post #5688 has a notch in the flap near the wing root. I believe this was only for torpedo carrying versions , possibly an A-17.

Brunnethal is in Austria and isn't on the indispensable DeZeng/Stankey list, so I think it was probably Brunnthal south of Munich.

P.S. Interesting camouflage too, a pattern of large blotches by the look of it.

Here is your D-3.
Enjoy it ! :)

Peter,

I have learned a lot here. I just want to add to the historical record.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

I had a look at the location given for the supposed Ju 88 (actually Bf 109) at https://www.ebay.com/itm/14553072615...cAAOSw7ihllCQT and it was Sainte Marguérite d'Elle in Normandy, about 11 km NNW St. Lô.
