Re: Unknown aircraft type in Luftwaffe markings
Luftwaffe had five (of 24 built) Piaggio P.108B (civil airliners instead of P.108T Transports)in service, most of them with TS 5 (J4+xH).
Four Piaggios were set ablaze on an airfield near Munich (Mühldorf-Mettenheim?).
One Piaggio P.108A Artigliere there served as spare parts provider.
(Source: Ali d'Italia 15)
Mühldorf Mettenheim was base of TS 5, being absorbed in August '44 by 14./TG4.
The airfield seems to be south of Munich, close to the Alps- Maybe Bad Aibling-Ainring area?
