White 3 ME 262 Galland

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

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.

 

Best Regards,

Antti
