Re: Ar 240 article by Heinz Mankau

The photo of V-3 is odd in another way - note that there is part of another cross painted, parallel to the leading edge. I have wondered whether the V-3 was assemble with parts built to the earlier wing standard, and this angled marking illustrates the change in wing angles. This seems unlikely. However, that wouldn't explain the angle on the flying photo, which is new to me and might help produce a better idea of the uppersurface camouflage. Or it would if it was clearer.
