Hi Everyone,
While researching my next build, I came upon a color photo of Smiling Albert near his Dornier. His Do looks very worn and faded. I found one more color image taken from the same angle, and two black and white images which don't yield much detail. I got the fuselage codes from Luftarchiv.de. Does anyone have images or anecdotal evidence that can help me with this build?

Thanks,

Gary

You mean this image? What information are you looking for to be exact?

Also found this one




Quite possible this is the same plane (paint wise)

Hi Lars,
Thank you for responding. What I'm looking for are more images showing any details about the plane. Unit markings, wear and tear, you name it. Unusually for a German plane, it looks well used, faded, and even stained. I imagine Kesselring used it to go everywhere.

I copies of the images you've posted above. I'm hoping that someone else might have other photos of the pane from other angles. Anything to eliminate guesswork and supposition.

BW,

Gary
