• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    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 politician 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 among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Ar 234 B-2

Thank you for sharing. Very interesting,and seems to be honest, story about a very interesting aircraft. Love those early jets ,when they were just trying to learn how to use this kind of technology . Cheers, Scott
 
Inevitably any story of a captured German plane after the war has a connection to the astonishing Captain Eric Brown. Nine Arado Ar 234B-2 were surrendered to the British at Sola Airfield in Norway. Captain Brown, as commander of the Enemy Aircraft Flight, 'swapped' 140312 (along with three other B-2s) with the US Operation Lusty team for the opportunity to interview Hermann Goering! If you haven't read his book "Wings On My Sleeve", in which he talks about that interview, I can recommend it highly.
