Scooby Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Wow, until now I had thought I had saw most the images of captured aircraft. I wish their were images of the FAA Corsair captured and flown by Germany as well as the Corsair Japan rebuilt and tested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slartibartfast Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I have Hans-Werner Lerche's book but the sheer number of captured aircraft is astounding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horrido Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 No idea on accuracy for any of these: Luftwaffe FAA Corsair options: http://www.fleetairarmarchive.net/aircraft/faacapturedaircrafthomepage.html http://www.warbird-photos.com/gpxd/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=24719 Japanese options: http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww3/f/571/65/0 http://www.aeroscale.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=SquawkBox&file=index&req=viewtopic&topic_id=167342&page=1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
braincells37 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Terrific website. I've built quite a number of these but there are many photos I've never seen before. Here are a few of mine I've seen a photo of one of the Japanese Corsairs. It would appear that they probably never flew it as it is not with Hinomarus and it's in a damaged state. I'll try to find the picture and scan it. Edited January 8, 2014 by braincells37 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horrido Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Other than this one (F4U)? http://img8.photobuc...rsair_japan.jpg Edit: Durn British, capturing a P-36 like that...And the A-20 reminds me of a baby G8N Rita.

Same airplane(I think). Photo taken from right rear quarter. Hopefully I can find it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 The mottled Luftwaffe corsair looks great but that's a -5 and would not have been built until well after the war. Maybe the yellow bottom one makes more sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
