[Richard T. Eger]

Dear Franck,

As you have pointed out, these potential ID plates appear on the Me 262A-1a/U3's. Eger Flugzeugwerke in Czechslovakia was charged with converting Me 262's to this configuration. We know that the A-1a/U3's had a rather unique camouflage scheme and that most, if not all, had a large white outline number on the forward fuselage, although I'm not sure exactly when this was applied. If I recall correctly, David E. Brown told me that the camouflage painting of these machines was of an excellent quality. It is possible that specifically Eger installed ID plates on the aircraft they converted.

Regards,
Richard
