Several examples of this aircraft fell into Allied hands and were thoroughly tested by the USAAF and RAF in bases such as RAF Farnborough. These machines were used to assess performance, analyze technical solutions, train pilots and technical personnel, and in reconnaissance missions. Allied testing contributed to the development of their own technologies and more effective tactics against the Luftwaffe.
