Re: German Spitfire
Could be American PRU Spit MK XI MB945 from Mount Farm. On March 1, 1944 this Spit was listed as FTR (failed to return) from a mission to Aschersleben and Brunswick. Pilot was Lt. Franklyn Van Wart, 14th Squadron, 7th Photo Group. He became a POW.

Re: German Spitfire

More generally, it is worth a look here: http://www.luftwaffe-experten.org/fo...?showtopic=310 |
