Re: Luftwaffe P51 shot down by US P47 ?
Alex/George,
Yes, P-51 Mustangs flow by Rechlin and 2nd/ Vband der OKL were painted with bright yellow markings to help in identification.
Possible explanations:
The P-51 was flown by the Hungarian AF. There are some hints that the HAF captured a flyable P-51 Mustang, but no more information has surfaced(at least that I know of).
Mistaken identity, RAF Mustang? There was one USAAF 15th AF P-51 casualty on October 29th,1944. It was a P-51D from the 332nd FG, not a razorback P-51 B/C.
There are some things about WWII we will never know.
