... the "amateurs" have found the WNr . So the pilot is now identified , but wasn't missing .
Maybe his name will be released here , maybe not .

Thanks !
It is strange all the same. The press article spoke about the spring, 1943.
For the Werknummer, i have 530175, not 550175...what is correct?

Bonjour Fréderic,

the W.Nr. should be 530 175. A Fw 190 A-6 built at Fieseler Kassel.

Rgds,
René

Definitively WNr 550175 from the plate found in the tail .
Fw German Elflein was possibly shot down by return fire from 322nd BG Marauders .
