    WWII Birds and the Goose

    WR That is the early version, with the shorter tail and wingspan. Also the air intakes on the engine nacells were smaller and less pronounced. The earlier style tailgun position also gives it away. I was not aware that any of these early ones were still in existance. It certainly looks...
