Captured Boston A/c used for Recce flights over the UK ?
Hi,

I see on the LEMB website that there is mention in a book that the Luftwaffe used a captured Boston a/c to fly recce flights over English airports.

Has anyone greater details of this/these flight(s) and which Luftwaffe unit it was that used the boston ???

The luftwaffe must have has some access to French bostons and at least some from the Russian Front. I think I read on a Rumanian site that even they had one under test following its capture ( in Rumanian markings ?).

Thanks

Alex
