Luftwaffe P-51 tail
Just found on E-BAy. The tail of a camouflaged P-51D that was captured by the Luftwaffe and found after the war.

Wanderzirkus Rosarius?

Re: Luftwaffe P-51 tail
Probably, although the picture of the entire A/C (Stranger in a Strange Land-Stapfer-p. 58) shows no markings. The aircraft belly landed and is missing the canopy. It is camouflaged overall in Dark Green with yellow undercoating.

Thanks, nice picture. Undoubtedly the same plane.

Hello,
See the "T" on the underwing in both photos. So yes "T9" most likely. As an extra, wasn't there a list that had all of the Zircus Rosario's aircraft ? Alex |
Re: Luftwaffe P-51 tail
I am not disputing that the P51 in question is from Rosarius's Unit but the T on the underwing is from a seperate aircraft and not from this P51 which may or may not have carried markings on the underside

Re: Luftwaffe P-51 tail
The P-51 apparently had a white "T" on right side of the fuselage German cross which may indicate an individual plane letter rather then unit code.

Hi Eduardo - First I have heard of this. Is there any photographic evidence for this.

Re: Luftwaffe P-51 tail
No, I can see it increasing the e-bay picture. But it can as well be the remains of USAAF code .
