| CAPTURED AIRCRAFT - ODD PHOTOS I thought this might be a good topic The attached clip is a "guess" from a FAA Corsair captured in Norway. Does any one have information on this or any other "odd" captured WWII aircraft? |

 | I posted my Captured Eagles presentation write-up a while back. Here are some pictures I used for the presentation. These are collected from a variety of sources.

| Its a B-24 Lib, but the photo was a bit screwy, so it looks likes one at the back, but the front looks weird. I think it is the angle of the shot that makes it look strange.

| at a quick glance I would have thought the short stirling was a kondor, the paint scheme really threw me off
