Don't have too much on Ju 88 G-6 W.Nr. 620506 except it was reportedly at Alhorn 12/45 and at Lubeck-Blankensee 1/45. No unit or other info.

The print was made by a photoshop at Jever according to the stamp at the back of the photo. That might be a clue. IV/NJG3 was based at Jever from Dec 1944 till Mar 1945.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

The white band around the wing near the end, bit not a white tip. Interesting. Is that BF 109 wing?
Explanations about the band?

My eyes were caught by the same detail. By casually looking at it, it's an Fw 190 wing to me, but I might be wrong.

The Ar 196A-5 (Wrk Nu 623183) was most likely photographed a Willow Grove NAS in Pennsylvania. It was from the Prince Eugen, test flown and left at the base in 1949.

It was subsequently sent to NAS Pensacola, but severely damaged. Not sure of current status.

The other Ar 196A-5 from the Prince Eugen is at the NASM.

I believe you are correct, that does appear to be a Fw 190 wing. A quick search through my books does not turn up similar markings. Usually white wing tip area.

I have the book and I missed it! coded White 1+– 74/75/76. Yellow wing tip from the band out. Yellow under the cowl and yellow rudder. However, the under-cowl looks far darker (near black) than the wing tips and tail, and given the tips and under-cowl are in similar light. Could the under-cowl be red or painted out with RLM 70 or black? And could the spinner be white and red, as the back part is lighter than the 70 blades.
