Country: | Ooo, I don't think the Jug would have appreciated that color scheme too much. Good find though Cheese.

Country: | ccheese thats the pic I was looking for thanks. I am working on a modeling project and wanted a unique color scheme.
I appreciate the welcome to the forum, I am a big aviation fan especially WWII. My grandfather fought in an Avenger.
If anybody else comes up with some other pics that would be great. | |

Country:  | Check out our Book section. I have listed a number and name of a book on KG 200 that flew these captured aircraft. It is a great book and it has lots of color drawings and black and white photos.
If I were not at work at the moment I would post the book again.

Country: | Also, you can probably find it used (I did) of the Stapfer book "Strangers in a Strange Land". There are some factual errors in the book as far as shoot down facts and crew info, but there are some great pictures and some of the info is good. It's out of print, but still obtainable.

Country: | As far as I know they used them to evaluate the planes. I have a book that has a chapter on a captured zero and they repaired it and then matched it up to allied fighters to determine best combat practices against it. | |
