One of the last to be completed, this Me 262 'Yellow 5' was surrendered to Allied forces at Munich-Riem in May 1945 and ferried on to Lechfeld by a Luftwaffe pilot. Flown on to Cherbourg via St Dizier and Melun, it was shipped as "Watsons Wizzers 111/Screamin' Meemie" to the US aboard HMS Reaper with 40 other captured aircraft. Barged to NAS Patuxent River and allocated BuNo 121442 for ten hours of flight tests in January 1946, these were curtailed after three engine failures. Abandoned in 1952, it was moved to the nascent USAF Museum in 1957. Restoration was accomplished from 1976 to 1979

Following WWI a German businessman acquired several Halberstadt airframes and parts. After much tribulation he started to restore this one for flight in the 1950s but abandoned the project. Sold in the US in 1982 and obtained by the USAF Museum in 1984. In very poor condition by then, it was restored in a joint venture with the Museum fur Verkehr und Technik in Berlin from 1989 to 1991, painted as the CL.IV of Schlachtstaffel 21's leader, known to have engaged elements of the US Army 94th and 95th Aero Squadrons in July 1918. The c/n sometimes quoted, C.4205/18, belongs to a Halberstadt C.V

I-phone copy of a photo from a personal photoalbum of an unknown German pilot. IMHO it represents a Do-217M with fully glazed nose and powered by DB-603 engines. Does the sign represent 1000 operations or flight hours? The photoalbum is owned by the Poldermuseum in Waverveen (NL)
