Here's some from the family photo album. My 2nd uncle, George Soltis was in Patton's 3rd army as a radio/electronics repair technician. Even though he was a ground pounder he still had a fondness for aviation hence these shots he was in or had taken along the way.

Great pics!

Interesting paint job on the Siebel (or it could be a Czech-built Aero C-3..there aren't any visible markings to ID it conclusively.) Doesn't look like a typical winter camo..could be civilian.

This is the only captured aircraft I have taken by my mom during the war on a bond drive in Miami.
It appears to be a BF-109F. Any one with more info on this aircraft would be welcome.

I'm scanning a list of "Incidental Aircraft" that were at Wright Field in 5/44, includes some captured planes.

Here is a great website showing captured aircraft in WWII. All sides and with some really interesting tales.
