Continuing debate on flights to the Orient

[Igloo White]

There appears to be little if any evidence that the Luftwaffe flew to the Far East, however some K.G. 200 fans insist that such flights were made, off the record, with bombers disguised as airliners.

Apparently, some KG 200 crew men and mechanics have stated that such flights took place.

Does anyone know if there is any hard evidence of such flights? I've read that the alleged flights were made with BV-222's, a Ju-290 and even the Me-261.

I find it highly unlikely that such flights would take place, given the U.S. fighter presence in China and the Soviet fighter presence elsewhere, and the inherent dangers in such long distance flights.

Thanks in advance for any help.
