Captured American B-17 used by the Luftwaffe
"During World War II, after crash-landing or being forced down, approximately 40 B-17s were repaired and put back into the air by the Luftwaffe. These captured aircraft were codenamed “Dornier Do 200”, given German markings and used for clandestine spy and reconnaissance missions by the Luftwaffe - most often used by the Luftwaffe unit known as KG 200, hence a likely possibility as a source for the “Do 200” codename."

Quote of the week is from — US Secretary of Defence Gen. James 'Mad Dog' Mattis USMC (ret). "The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event. That said, there are some assholes in the world that just to be shot."
