Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
Fair enough Ed
However I doubt that in 1952-54 there was anything called Wright Field.
Wright and Patterson were amalgamated in 1948 basically when USAF was formed, creating a giant airfield.
What happened to the buildings we see after 1955?
My sources (Jay Miller and Phil Butler) says what I just quoted above.
I know Jay Miller and I believe his statement of the arrival of the X-3 is quite solid, meaning not before 1956 anyway.
The whereabouts of FE-1598 is more tricky and I have relied on Butler's data.
Perhaps you have an arrival date to W-P Field of said aircraft.
I agree that FE-1598 was tested at Wright Field, but according to Butler this was in 1943-44. According to him the aircraft then was at Davis-Monthan AB from 1946 to Jan 1966 when it was moved to W-P AFB
