Re: Some enlarged and 'tweaked' known photos of Me 262s

398. This photo shows the canopy has been left slightly ajar by the exiting pilot. The camouflage was applied when the flaps were fully retracted. http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....pictureid=1292 399. In this photo of W.Nr. 111745, the hakenkreuz has been digitally removed. According to Dan O'Connell's Production Log, p.137, "Flown in combat against P-47s on the 9th [April 1945] by Uffz. Johann Karl Müller of JV 44 between from [sic] 17:20 and 18:03. On the next day, between 10:32 and 11:38, Müller shot down a P-47. It was not listed in the JV 44 inventory of 26 April 1945 ...". http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....pictureid=1293 400. This view shows the typical demarcation between the dark upper camo and under coat of RLM 76 weiss-blau extending even under the nose cone. The wavy demarcations on the engine nacelles are also typical. The camouflage netting seen in the first photo is now lying on the ground. |
