Re: Luftwaffe im Focus no.7, page 23, photo 33

My previous post was done pretty quickly and from memory only.
After one night and some checks i change my mind:

1/ On the color photos the airplanes are side by side but on the JV44 Dora red4 B&W photo, planes are one over the others and so color photos are older than the later. (from captions May 45 for color photo and 1947 for the B&W).

2/ M20 got similar camo as the one visible on the color view and further more had same kind of black hole on nose right side and open bay rear from the cockpit.

>> So i really think that M-20 could be the one we see, the marking M20 is not visible since it's masked by the wing down on the earth. It's pretty easy to imagine that M20 will be pushed over the D9 red4 some month after this color view. (Note: 1/ Dora red 4 and red 1 are probably very near from each other, one in front a ju 88 and the other beside this probably same ju 88, need more checks to be sure 2/ Dora red4 is the one visible backward from the He 162)
>> The other He 162 is only partly visible, possibly no camo at all...
