Hello,


Post #1808 and 1810: I believe that Junkers-Bernberg-built Ju 88 G-1 (WNr. 712186) was coded __+OL, was found abandoned at Einsatzhafen I Frankfurt Rhein-Main, Germany (co-ordinates 50.044444 8.590278).
I published a color photo of this aircraft in AIRFOIL #1.


Respectfully,
Steve Sheflin

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

Can someone identify the bombs in post #1814? I am interested in their weight.

TIA,
Ed

Thank you again Snautzer for this unfinished Me 262 with the uniquely dented nose.

I wonder why the nose wheel was so valuable to the GIs?

Thanks again,

Jim

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

Hi Jim,

I suspect the nose wheel was removed to help protect the aircraft from theft. It was a valuable aircraft that held great technical interest to people, including Allies who wanted one. At the time, intelligence teams were competing for equipment and although some security was in place, a few examples make me inclined to consider this possibility.
