Tom. Agree, its generally good. Apologies, references were with text (in "unknown machines") but did not copy. Added in plain text now.
- Unless the plane was not flyable or not mentioned. I have found (and partly more) Ju 88s (damaged) were shipped to the USA, two are traced by code and W.Nr.s and some dates/fates traced.
One of them was sent over quite a long period before official US entry in the war.
