Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
Gents,
Thanks all for the clarifications regarding the Fw 190 D. The Me 262 on the right in post 831 is a close relative of the one on the left, it being WNr.110745 found at Giebelstadt. Though not posted here, it is seen in a well known NARA photo that is an oblique aerial view from its right side adjacent to a bomb crater. A comparison with the above and this image matches exactly with the bomb crater in front of the machine and position of the engines. A rather reduced version of the image is shown on page 623 of the Classic Me 262 Volume 3. Cheers, David

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
Thanks for your fact checking, Franck ! If from II./JG 2, «*Weisse 12*» would nail the location at Zellhausen indeed, as stated by Hideki Noro in «*LO+ST*».
Cheers Marc

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
I'm afraid the American GI that wrote Babenhausen on the back of the photos is no longer around to explain.
Cheers, Jerry

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
Hi Rudi,
The first picture in your post #843 was taken in a hangar at Horsching-Linz probably after October 1945. A similar picture can be seen on page 16 Wings of the Black Cross number eight . thanks again, Jim

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
The second photo appears to be the Fieseler built D-9 601444 found at Eschwege, Germany.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
Here is a photo of Dora 9 "White 5" from III./JG 2. This photo along with the photos of "White 12" from II./JG 2 were taken at Babenhausen, an not Zellhausen. However, JG 2 used these airfields as necessary. Both of these units moved to Babenhausen in the middle of February 1945.
In April III./JG 2 moved on from Babenhausen. There was a lot of movement of JG 2 around the Frankfurt area toward the end. Cheers, Jerry
