Re: Luftwaffe Loss ...a P38 Lightning

Alex - Been reading comments on the P - 38 pictured in Italy.
In the book " On Special Missions , LW Research and Special Missions Squadrons." by Smith , Creek , Petrick- there is a color photo of P - 38
T9 XB taken at Rechlin along with photos of other Allied A/C 9-19- 43.
The photo caption says " most likely from 14th AF, landed on German AF.
Flown to Berlin by FW. Heinz Girnth JG 53
Note - photo of Mosquito at Rechlin shows code T9 XB.
Many photos Of the F5E during LW service and at Schwangau AF, 1945 as stated earlier.
cheers
