remember KG 200, with staffeln particpating in some rather stealth work of the time. the Ju 290 was all important with the heavy and big rear ramp door. the spys if called that would be bundled up tight like chord wood and literally lay on the ramp and by forces of nature would fly out and parachute at rather low altitudes. had a P-61 pilot friend: in 1945 tried to intercept at low altitude one of these big boy a/c but was unsuccessful due to the full moon effects
