Sean_M Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Does anyone know if he had Micky mouse of a chevron on this aircatf as suggested by eagle decals on the ME 262 he flew. I believe that he shared this aircraft with a junior pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jure Miljevic Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hi Sean Yes, white 3 had been flown mostly by Oberleutnant Franz Stiegler, I believe. Unfortunately, I have never seen any photos of this Me 262, only colour profiles and I do not recall seeing Mickey Mouse or chevrons. For what it is worth, there are photos of Stiegler, taken ten or so years ago, beside some of these profiles and even with a model of his former mount in his hands. He had not been known to voice any complaints about this colour scheme. Cheers Jure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antti_K Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hello sean, I have seen only one blurred photo of "White 3". There is no Mickey Mouse emblem visible. It is uncertain if this aircraft was actually flown by general Galland as he didn't remember what number his Me-262 carried. On the other hand Galland wanted to make some modifications to a colour profile of his plane (White 3) as he said that it was "inaccurate"! This profile was published in Osprey's book.
