This Republic P-47D was one of two used for training
experienced german pilots how U.S. aircraft responded during engagements. This Aircraft also had its belly painted
yellow so the german anti aircraft crews would not shoot them down while flying. The 2nd Staffel had special groups that would disperse to the scene of a downed U.S. plane
to recover fuel and parts to keep These"Birds" flying(which was by all means no easy task, US fighters often straithed
there downed planes). This Thunderbolt was re-captured by U.S. troops in Gottinggen during late 1944. The aircraft was
abandoned by retreating Luftwaffe when it devoleped mechanical problems and could not be flown out!
