Re: Some enlarged and "tweaked" known photos of Ar 234s

Thank you, Chris. I have just ordered Guhnfeldt's book.

46. It is likely that Arado Ar 234 B-2b W.Nr. 140467 "8H+BH" (black "B") of 1.(F)/33 [Smith & Creek, (2022), p. 310] was among those of that unit flown to Grove-Karup, Denmark, in early May 1945 and captured intact there by the British. In this poor photo, the Arado may be "8H+BH" still in its original markings with its fairings and racks visible beneath the engine nacelle.

47. This is a good view of how the hose from the fairing under the engine nacelle hooked into the auxiliary fuel tank on recce Arados. Note what appears to be a black "B" on the nose wheel bracket, the worn footholds, and scratches from tarp ropes in the camouflage of the port nacelle. This was likely the Arado designated "USA 6".

48. On 24 June 1945, Karl Baur flew "USA 6" from Grove to Le Culot, 09:15-10:55 hrs., and from Le Culot to Melun-Villaroche, 14:30-15:14 hrs., [Samuel, American Raiders, pp. 291-292]. At the stopover at Le Culot, Belgium, this photo was taken of GI's examining Baur's Arado , mistaking him as British.
