Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

However, the two in post 4728 show the same thing, white script on the port side. Was this a message chalked on by the allies to denote they planes were checked and safe?

CT+LO, which was abandoned in a large collection of aircraft at Einsatzhafen Bayreuth-Bindlach, Germany (coordinates 49.984722 11.638889). Of particular interest is the hand-applied white script below its cockpit.
