Does anyone know of a photo source depicting one of the "silver" He-111's converted to transports in the immediate postwar years?
My sources indicate an overall silver finish with black numerals; was this bare metal? Thanks for your help. |

The source is a book written by Heinz Nowarra, titled: 'Heinkel He 111. A Documentary History', published (also) by Jane's, in London, in 1980. Two photos are published on p. 245.
The aircraft appears to be all silver, with black lettering. On the tail, narrow oblique tricolour stripes were painted. The nose front and lower area appear to be covered by sheet metal. I hope this helps. Gen. Dénes |
