Post by: Flitze on April 21, 2001, 02:30:00 PM: Wow !

That's my plane (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/cool.gif) ! I need this painting immediately !
I knew the germans had some secret weapons (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Since this plane has a totally new painting and not only the markings replaced by the german ones, what was it used for ?
Only for evaluation or also for special operations ?

Post by: BUG_EAF322 on April 21, 2001, 04:55:00 PM: They used it for recon missions
An captured italian P38 was the only allied plane to shoot down a allied plane

Again the p38 hit the records (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

There were many allied aircraft shot down by other allied aircraft. Since we're on the topic of the P-38, what about that idiot RAF Spitfire jockey that shot down the USAAF C-54 carrying 200 sets of dive recovery flap kits for the 8th AF's P-38J fighters?

My regards,

Errr, false. I'm sure there were many friendly fire cases!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

And the Finnish Air Force is a whole other chapter...

Yes. And don't forget that the FAF had also other "allied" planes in their inventory: Brewsters, Curtiss Hawks, Fokker D.XXI's, Bristol Bulldogs, Gloster Gladiators, Morane Saulnier 406's, as well as captured Russian I-153's, I-16's and LaGG-3's. All of them scored kills against the Russians.

Post by: Flitze on April 21, 2001, 09:18:00 PM: Thx, BUG.

I've read the post about captured allied planes now, too.
What BUG meant is that the captured P38 was the only US-build plane shooting down another US-build plane (B17) in WWII. Friendly fire not taken into account.
