Piaggio P108B in Luftwaffe service

[yogybär]

Does anyone have more information on this topic?

I found this:

http://www.comandosupremo.com/P108.html
Surprising that such machines were used as transport in the evacuation of the Crimea in 4'44.
At least some of the info given there is strange as Luftflotte 2 was not on the Eastern Front.

Additionally I found that:
Transp.Fl.Staffel 5 had 8 "Piaggio" in 1'44, 3 of them "new from factory".

Anyway: Who knows more? I am curious!

Hi,

Might I suggest you have a look at the Luftwaffe Experten Message Board, or LEMB for short.

On that Luftwaffe message board there is a special section about captured Italian a/c that where used by the Luftwaffe. http://www.luftwaffe-experten.org/forums/

You will have to register there aswell to make use of the board, but if you are interested in captured Italian a/c it is worth it!!!

As I am very interested in a/c that where captured and used by the Luftwaffe, I will add a list of known P.108's that where captured with there German Stammkenzeichen. I have 17 codes known in total. So take another look in the next few days in this topic.

Cheers,
