Personnel of the USAAF’s 57th Fighter Group and a GI surrounding a German fighter Focke-Wulf FW 190 landed by mistake at Villafranca airfield, Verona, 28 April 1945. The Luftwaffe’s pilot landed thinking the airfield still in German hands when on the contrary was already occupied by the Americans. Upon seeing the P-47s of the 57th FG he fled the aircraft leaving the engine running. Subsequently, according the 57th FG’s history, one of the GIs guarding the aircraft was fooling around the cockpit and accidentally pulled the gear handle collapsing the landing gear with other limited damages. On the ground the canopy likely jettisoned by the pilot searching for the escape. Victor Sierra

 The Gotha Go 149 was a military aircraft developed in Germany in the mid-1930s for training fighter pilots. It was a conventional low-wing cantilever monoplane with tailwheel undercarriage, the main units of which retracted inwards. The wing was wooden, while the monocoque fuselage was metal. Two prototypes were constructed, and an armed version was also proposed as a light home-defense fighter (Heimatschutzjäger) armed with two 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 17 machine guns, but the Luftwaffe did not purchase either version of the design, and no further examples were built.
