Re: Should the story about Do335 W.Nr. 240113 get rewritten?
Micke D, I saw the profile by Claes Sundin, and this was one reason to publish my observation here. The text at his website has errors, (Schnaufer flew the Do 335 M10 and not "A-10 subtype"), and also the black lower sides are wrong. If you studdy camouflage of the double seaters (240111, 112, 113, 114) you will notice that they had all unpainted lower sides. The colour of the upper sides was painted further down as you can see on the A-0 series planes. At the rear fuselage also the air intake for the cooler was painted. So it gaves the impression that the lower sides were black, but they weren't.
Revi16, sorry but I will not publish the copyrighted photograph here. You will find it in Wings of the Black Cross, Number Two by Jerry Crandall, page 25.
