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? |

Country: | 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.
