Re: Data Plates Exposed #5: Do 18 D-1
Thank you "Seaplanes" for helping to bring history to the Do 18 plate.
Apparently, at some time near the end of the war or thereafter, an American serviceman (or someone) found 714 and its main plate; airplane data/identification plates were often taken as souvenirs. The plate eventually made its way to the U.S. where, having passed through several hands, it remains today. Steve
