Re: Me 410 B-2/U4 WNr 710408

Thank you, Andy, for that scan of the 710 408 maker's plate. Can you read the 3 letters at the bottom of the plate, that ID the maker?

Roger, I'm not certain what Artie has in the way of crash reports on W.Nrs. beyond 710 408, but I have two incident reports:
710 473 - 18 Jul 44, test of new locking unit for the landing gear. (From Mankau/Petrick).
710 464 - Also 18 Jul 44, test of newly produced Me 410B with MK 103 installation by Tarnewitz. (From series of reports on development of the MK 103 installation for the Me 410). Hope this helps.

Incidently, Jerry Crandall has asked me to write a book on the Me 210/410 series, and I would really appreciate any notes on the use of the Me 410 in its anti-bomber role. Thanks.

All the best,
George
