• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

During the WWII North African Campaign the Allies captured a dozen or more intact Fiesler Storch from the retreating German and Italian armies. More than a few were pressed into service against their former owners. RAF's Air Vice Marshall Harry Broadhurst used one as his personal transport. Others were utilized as liaison and artillery spotters.

The two pictures included show one Storch repainted in USAAF colors. The roundel on the Storch and the markings of the P-38 in the background suggest this Storch was perhaps being used by the 37th Fighter Sqdn. of the 14th Fighter Group somewhere in Tunisia around late 1943 or early 1944.
