Re: 350th FG - 5 a/c from Predannack Feb,5th 1943
Hi, Everyone. There was a set of pictures of a P-400 (long 20mm nose cannon) with a buckled propeller, surrounded by Luftwaffe personnel, that appeared in German E-Bay some seven years ago. I wonder if one of these 350FG P-400s could be this airplane?
For that matter, what was the origin of the P-39 that Stabing. HW Lerche flew in "Luftwaffe Test Pilot"? There was some talk that it was a Eastern front capture. The only information comes from his book (P 104):"[i]n June 1943 the first captured damaged Bell P-39 was reported repaired and fully airworthy." Perhaps Lerche's P-39 was actually a P-400?
