Re: Did the Luftwaffe use captured Allied Aircraft as 'bogies' & 'spotter aircraft' frequently in the defence of the Reich?
Gents,
sometimes the Luftwaffe did use captured allied a/c in action, nonetheless mostly in special services. For instance a B-17, marked with German coding A3+BB of KG 200 - 12th January 1945 sortie for "Unternehmen Kadella" and 13th/14th January 1945 for "Unternehmen Perlenfischer" (both flights in order to drop agents). Source: "Moskau ruft Heeresgruppe Mitte" by Günther W. Gellermann.
Possibly there is some more to find. I'll give it a try within the next few days.
Cheers
Norbert
