The entry page for this site is at:

http://capturedplanes.ow.pl/

Here, the reader can select the language in which he wishes to read the site. The English language version is at:

http://capturedplanes.ow.pl/default.htm

From here, you go to the World War II section where you have your choice of countries and the aircaft that they captured. So far, only the Third Reich has actual entries. Lists of planes, sorted by previous user, are provided:

Austria 1938
Czechoslovakia 1939
Poland 1939 - includes info, photos, & color profiles
Scandinavia 1940
Low Countries 1940
France 1940
England 1940-45
Tha Balkans 1941
Soviet Union 1941
United States 1941
Italy 1943

With the exception of Poland, these are bare bones lists of types captured. Hopefully, the balance will expand to include the type of material presented for Poland.

Another section deals with movie planes. Here there are photos of, to me, rather bizarre planes put into Luftwaffe markings. These included Zlin Z-526 ASF, a Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-9 disguised badly as an Me 262, and a Yakovlev Yak-18 as an Me 109???

A bibliography of books and magazines is given, with an interesting mix of English, Polish, Czech, French and German language offerings.

Links to 24 sites are given, including the LWAG site.

Regards,
Richard
