Luftwaffe B-26B-1-MA (41-17790)-where is it?
I recently attended a B-26 marauder reunion in Akron Ohio last week. The MAPS museum is restoring a B-26 Marauder. There were 11 1st generation Marauder men there with the oldest being Brig Gen. Henry Newcomer who is 98 years old.
I got to display my model B-26 right next to the full scale B26. I got to know the crew chief Dave Pawski who has spend 18 years restoring the B26. He has model of the German Luftwaffe B-26B-1-MA plane.
Does anyone know what ever happened to the B-26B -1-MA that landed on the Island of Noord-Beveland in the Netherlands on Oct 3, 1942 .The Marauder was flown by the Germans from Noord-Beveland to Gilze-Rijen Air Base with German- built VDM three- blade propellers. It is said that the plane was evaluated with the Test and Experimental Center of The Luftwaffe during June 1943 at Rechlin and Larz Air bases.
thanks for any information that you can give
