Re: All-black captured Mustang?
Thanks for the comments, guys.
Graham, Mike, indeed the Mustang would most likely have been dark green. The Luftwaffe's dark green colours were very often mistaken for black. To illustrate, I have a number of encounter reports from interceptions of Fw 200s and Bv 138s by FAA Wildcats (Martlets). FAA encounter reports have a field where the pilot can make comments on the enemy aircraft's camouflage and markings. Indeed many of them say their opponent had all-black camouflage. Simon please post that link again! It wasn't terribly relevant, but it was very interesting nonetheless! ![]()
