Who can told me the story of this bird?

I just know this could be an ex Rumanian plane captured the 22 July 1943 but I am not sure

Wasn't the Rumanian Ju 88 a defector?

Heh, I meant the one at Dayton was a defector, not captured. Not sure if any other Rumanian birds were captured later on. :lol:
