 | Wolf in sheeps clothing. I am fascinated by seeing pictures of aircraft that have been captured by an enemy and then bearing the capturing nations insignia. I am posting a couple here that I previously posted in the quiz, can you come up with any? First picture is a Heinkel 177, second is a Fieseler Storch.

 | B-17F #41-24585 Wulfe Hound 360th BS (PU-  Original 303rd BG(H) B-17F-27-BO First 8thAF B-17 captured and flown by Germans MIA 12 December 1942 mission #6 to Rouen, France (Lt Paul F. Flickenger Pilot) Wheels-up landing in a hayfield near Melun, France (60 mi S.E. of Paris) with ball turret guns pointing downward. Germans were able to transport the B-17 to the nearby Leeuwarden airfield in the Netherlands where repairs made and put in flyable condition. The damaged Ball Turret was never replaced. It was painted with German Insignia and side code DL+XC with yellow paint on the undersurfaces. It was carefully examinined and tested at the Luftwaffe Test and Evaluation Center at Rechlin. Wulfe Hound was first flown by the Germans on 17 March 1943, followed by more testing and development of fighter tactics against B-17s. It was transferred to the Luftwaffe "Kampfgeschwader" KG200 Squadron at Rangesdforf, Germany on 11 September 1943. It then took part in training and highly secretive clandestine missions between May and June 1944. Others include Spit and Typhoon. Have a look at: http://warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/foreign.html

| This Junkers Ju 88S-1 was captured by Allied forces at Villacoublay in September 1944 and is pictured at Collyweston where it underwent evaluation. Last edited by David Layne; 02-11-2006 at 10:48 AM. |

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?
