Re: Name That Plane

Clue - It's not a British plane. That should narrow it down.

I think so. I can't believe there is a WW2 plane this hard to ID.

Re: Name That Plane

Re: Name That Plane

Absolutely correct A Bloch MB 131 on an airfield in 1940. I told you the location was right. The recognition strips got me too when I first saw it. I assumed it was something from around D-Day.

This plane had RED and WHITE stripes.

The thread is yours Salinator.

I suspected French after ruling out the Baltimore, but the stripes threw me a curveball because I couldn't place the Bloch at D-Day.

I pass my turn to Wustenfuchs. If he doesn't want it, anyone else can grab it.
