Country:  | simple : Adler's profile is complete supposition. there are no known fotos of the almost stealth floatplane/jet unit. In fact the standard German markings are reportedly to be in black with the undersides in black. teh floats had the uppers in the marine camo I mentioned with black undersides. all ground crewmen wore the standard black one piece coveralls |

Country: | the jet/floatplanes were actually camo'd with an umbrella net, with the jets sitting side by side in 4 feet of water, they were then pulled out by row boats, rather large ones I might add built by Merecedes Benz; bet you didn't know that Mercedes continued to aid the Wehrmachts war effort ever so subtley | |

| I have to agree with the above list of aircraft. I might sub the Ju-88 nightfighter with the He-219. But I think they both get the message across. For a fighter I might throw in the late Italian fighters or even the Janpanesse fighters. Just to mix it up a little.

It came from when I cut the engines off the pic and superimposed them over the floats. By the way I used a He-115 to make the pic.

Erich also I am sure you have info that we may have, but I personally have never heard of a Me-262 float plane. As I said though, you probably know something that I do not.

Country: | Torpedo bomber/ASW carrier and land based: PBY5, Black Cat outfitting. Anti-tank: The Mosquito fitted with the 57mm cannon. Fix the gun with AP rounds.
Long range battle recon: Zero with drop tanks, because it could fight and still go quite a long distance (with the right prop and fuel managment). BoB main bomber destroyer/intridictor: Hurricane MIIC, suposing it had existed in time for the BoB. | |
