Re: Photos Beuteflugzeuge
A couple of thoughts
First of all should we actually call the aircraft built for account of Luftwaffe as "beute"?
To me it implies captured and in the case above of the Caudron 445 BC+QN it was never captured, it was built for Luftwaffe use.
It was No 438/9166 and was ready on 16 April 1941.
Picture most likely shows its accident at Stavanger 9 October that same year.
On the other hand I find it very agreeable that we try and lump together all such aircraft under a common heading, instead of having all
sorts of headings hard to find.
Clint, no doubt, is already well aware of this, but just in case others are not....
The Avia B.71 on the other hand was probably a true "beute" and is I believe VG+BI
Cheers
