    Really well done.

    They were apparently modified Buffalo's called 'Model 239'.

    I'm going to guess that Mr. Michael is the guy whose corpse the allies dressed up in a British uniform with false battle plans in his pocket, dumped in the Mediterranean, so that his body would wash up on shore, be found by the Germans, and lead to their deception about allied invasion plans.

    It isn't false glory. The Canadian fought bravely and shed blood from day one.

    No, that was part of the cover story of the cover story. In actuality he killed himself.

    Correct. He killed himself in July 1944 in the traditional way on the island of Saipan as he watched advancing US Marines from the mouth of a cave overlooking the sea.

    Jarlaxle's question.

    What (Axis) fighter aircraft was regularly misidentified as a Fw-190?

    I assume you are not speaking of one of the varients like the Ta models- would it be the late model Italian fighter? I had to look it up- but the Macchi MC200?

    I'd say P-47...but you said 'Axis'.

    It wasn't an Axis fighter, it was Allied, and it was the British Typhoon...
    [​IMG]

    It's why they started using striped markings on the underside of the wings because Typhoons were getting shot down by their own AA guns....
    crews mistook the Typhoon for Fw-190s

    You maybe right about the plane...makes sense.

    But are you sure those are not D-day stripes?
