T-2 reports

[John Clarke]

Does anyone know if there is a list available of all the T-2 reports done on advanced Luftwaffe aircraft at the end of the war?

[Richard T Eger]

Dear John,

Off the top of my head, I'm not aware of a list. However, I think the Air Force Museum library may have quite a number of these reports. Perhaps they have compiled a list. It could be worth a check.

Regards,
Richard

perhaps others have knowledge or have copies of other ones?

I will let you know how I get on if you are interested.
