Re: Captured P-47 - Beetle

Hello,
This Tbolt is well covered on the LEMB forum along with several photos.

One from Bill Marshall and the 355th official site.shown in Harrison's post is showing the nose section.
Note the markings under the cockpit area,"Agnes's" and a small artwork(?), this pic is said by Bill to be taken at Steeple Morden in November.
http://www.luftwaffe-experten.org/fo...pic=322Details are that the inscription under the cockpit was over painted by the Germans, and the white noseband partly over painted in red .
The a/c would not have had the tail band. But star and bar was outlined in red.
Three profiles depicting the different stages of markings is shown on the back cover of "Strangers in a Strange land"vol1.
Alex
