Hello Revi16,

Thank you for the two pictures.

Your locating of White 13 allowed me to find another, albeit distant, picture of it in Nick Beale's Ghost Bombers page 182 in the top right photo. White numerals can be seen in front of the balkenkreuz.

Secondly, Franck is correct. American troops parked White 12 facing north beside Red 1 in the meadow with the poplars along Kranebitten Allee on the northside of the airfield.

Photos taken on 9 June by members of the 454th Bombardment Squadron [Smith & Creek, Me 262 Volume 4, p. 806] show White 12 was originally among six Me 262s crowded along the Inn River (including 111751 and 111712) with a hydro tower in the background. I found these pictures last week while using Google Chrome to search "Me 262 Hotting". Scrolling down, I found sample pictures of aircraft at Hotting in the E-Books, Broken Me 262 Jet Fighters Part 7, Part 8 and Part 9 by David Myhra PhD. The pictures I refer to are in Part 8.

Best regards,

Jim
