As with many captured aircraft, mystery surrounds it. The aircraft ws flown to San Servio, north of Foggia, Italy by a Hungarian pilot on 14 December 1944. Then, depending on which record us used, the aircraft was either flown to Wright Field, USA during January 1945, or shipped there at a later date. courtesy Graham M.
