Dear All,

The 2 links from Photobucket provided by luftquest are rather unique. I tend to agree, from what I can see of the number under the tail, that these are of "711", i.e., W.Nr. 111711, which became T-2-711. This aircraft shipped from Europe on 9 May 1945 aboard the "Madawaska Victory" (ref. telex of 30 May 1945).

But, 1 of the 2 photos gives the photo date as 16 Apr. 1945, meaning that the photos were taken of the aircraft in a disassembled state in Europe prior to shipping to the U.S. I've not seen such photos before and would like to contact the owner on Photobucket for possible higher resolution images. Can anyone help me make contact with him? Also, does anyone have an idea where in Europe the photos were taken?

Regards,
Richard
