Re: Focke-Wulf Fw 58 - any pilots ?
 
Some were Bf 109 pilots flying them for transport runs after ferry flights, etc. Many of these Fw 58s are known in details. Unarmed Fw 58C, 'K.3+34' eg. was shot down by George E. Hochstetler (P-38L, 15 AF, 14 FG, 49 FS) on March 22, 1945 at Kemenesmagasi, Hungary with Bf 109 ace pilot, Málnássy Ferenc hdgy. (KIA), Benárd László hdgy. (KIA), Török Lajos zls. (WIA), Kárpáthy István őrm. (WIA). Or Fw 58 KA-6, Gy.sz.: 51022, 'G.2+68' was self-destructed on the airfield of Lesvár/Röjtökmuzsaj by its crew on March 28, 1945, etc.

True, my uncle had plenty of 'seat time' on this type, but only for courier or overland flights.
