Re: "CAPTURED ME109s" a New Book! July 2007

The airplane shown on page 96 was not a captured '109. It's an erroneous information.

That aircraft was flown willingly to Italy by a Rumanian officer, Cpt. rez. av. Constantin Cantacuzino, in a diplomatic mission, and he intended to return to Rumania with it. It was only an accident that prevented him to return with his mount, and used a P-51 instead - which, in turn, was not a captured bird either.
