Coded A5+HL (3./St.G 1), 5954 was found abandoned by British forces in November 1941 after a forced landing in Libya (one still can see the bullet and shrapnel holes in the fuselage). Restored in 1974 by the Experimental Aircraft Association (Wisconsin), it was returned to the Museum of Science and Industry (Chicago) in 1980 as a static display; the heavily damaged engine is in another gallery. Originally part of an American tour of war prizes sponsored by the British Information Service, and donated to the museum in 1946.
