Hi Carl,

I had another look. The thread shows a black and a yellow '11' - however, the captions are different!

Black '11' reads: "These images and a colour drawing are from a brand new unpainted (silver) DB-3F captured at Bobruisk. It belonged to 3 BAK and carried “black 11” on the rudder."

Yellow '11': "An early IL-4, yellow 11 captured by the Germans in 1941. This aircraft carried a natural metal finish and had previously been operated by VVS KBF Mine Torpedo Aviation Regiment."

There is no mention of the yellow '11' being captured at Bobruisk.

Regards,
Karl
