Bob Murphy: Knew somebody would come up with the answer.
What the heck was that small, four passenger,
twin engine German plane that had folding wings like a carrier plane would have?
I saw one of them at Midland several years ago. It had a fuel line blocked and set down in a cow pasture. A lowboy retrieved it and it was a static display during the air show.
I have been unable to find a picture on line.
Speaking of Wiesbaden: I know a Bf109 ace from there. Had 38 victories. Also a guardian angel as he survived being shot down 6 times. And on a 7th occaison a P38 had him at point-blank range and ran out of ammunition.
I’ll see him in Cincinatti in October. Every year he comes to the 82nd Fighter Group reunion.
