Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
Hello,
The 3 last Rudi's pictures show a He 177, with the werknummer 5277. According to R. Smith and E. Creek in their book "He 177 Greif", the letter code of this aircraft is (BF+TB), and they add the mention "Forerunner A-3". Any other information from He 177's experts ? Pierre |

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
Hallo Pierre!
Regarding your inquiry about the He 177 WNr. 5277 in the two photos on p. 364, No. 3640, I can add a couple of tidbits. The airplane's complete Werknummer was [1]5 277. It was a Heinkel He 177A-1, the first subtype produced in any numbers. The Hersteller (manufacturer) was Arado Brandenburg (ARB), and the kite was built sometime in the first half of 1943. Regrettably, Pierre, I have no information about the first part of the unit code ending in + M W, nor do I know where the two photographs in No. 3640 may have been taken. Let us hope that other readers can contribute further details. Meanwhile, stay well, mon ami. |
