Junkers Ju 290 A-4, WkNr 0165, PI+PS, was the prototype for the, renumbered "A3+HB", of KG 200. It had been equipped with attachments for FX 1400, Hs 293, and Hs 294 missiles, and fitted with FuG 203e radar, and was surrendered to the USA. Renamed "Alles Kaputt", and numbered "FE 3400", it was flown to the USA by USAAF Colonel Harold E. Watson from Orly, Paris to Wright Field, Ohio (USA), on 28 July 1945, via the Azores. The captured aircraft, with its German insignia repainted, was a frequent performer at air shows at Freeman Field and Wright Field. When the aircraft was scrapped at Wright Field in 1946, an plastic explosive device of German manufacture was discovered in the wing near to a fuel tank.
