Country: | I know of at least 2-3 line up photos of "Russian" Doras captured at wars end, they were never brought up and used against the LW as that is plain bogus.
Also in either volume 1 or 2 of JaPo's huge Dora books they should be covered and may be as well in the EE's volume 1 or 2. the first volume I have found will be on my doorstep on the morrow. I will do a personal write up of that in a different new thread. EE's effort will be more on the a/c and pilots/bio's than the tech which is in JaPo's work(s)
and it is interesting to note via Waynes post that on axishistory forum that there is a multipage thread on the Yak 9 and I have been in conversation with one chap from Slovenia who claims the Yak 9 still was above the Dora in all capabilities..........NOT according to LW pilots which always dove down on all Soviet types and blew them away as the Soviet types could not climb, or power up on the flat nor the turn to get away. the Yak as I pointed out to him as well as Mig's were continually flying at mid altitude something the Dora was not suited for. As we can see by Waynes posted article the same application through after war testing is quite true

One thing is what is being said about the rigidity of the Russian fighters, claiming that they were fragile because they were partially build out of wood. That's nonsense.
And what do they mean with the German guns being recharged automatically?

Country: | Erich, looking forward to your review. Not sure how soon my copies of EE Vol 1 and Japo Vol 2. will arrive....very soon I hope.
These images would be the one's to which you refer, Erich.

Country:  | I have a picture in one of my books, lists it as a 'D-9 captured at Marienburg, East Prussia and serving with an IAP of the Red Banner Baltic Fleet Air Force in the spring of 1945' Seems to be standard camouflage | |

Country: | Wayne, that second pic is the one I found in the book and started this thread. I'm thinking that maybe the next "D" I model might be Russian. I'm intriqued.

Country: | Wayne that is correct and volume 1 of the EE edition on the Dora does not cover captured examples, maybe the sister volume # 2 later but I would think Largers two volumes would cover the Soviet examples......... ?
mid range- 12-13,000 feet in my estimation | |

low altitude - up to 12,000'

high altitude - over 25,000' | |
