Continuing the 112th madness





That plane was shot down near Florence pilot Sgt R K Mann survived

Yep but here is another very rare shot of a captured Ju-87 by the 112th. The 112th was called the Shark Squad.

I do like the label , that is a D model 87 , guess it may have been an Italian machine .

Could have been a German one, while waiting for replacement, i have a German picture of the same plane before it's capture if ya want me to post it.



After it's capture befor being repainted.

I was look at the tail of first posted , could be two different machines , post the photo be good to compare the markings .

[Yob]

Sry struts arnt visable in one of the pic's but i think it is the same plane.



The paint is a little different but same plane and reg number.
