Hello, seeking a Fw 190 D 9 Foto (in Flight) for an former JG 2 Pilot - he flies the Yellow 7 in 1945.

Wow Peglar,

You're asking for something I never had the chance to see: a Fw 190 D-9 in flight...
Even after four books summing 1500 pages on the subject, none has surfaced so far...

Wish us good luck

I can only recall two photos where a Dora is actually flying, and both appear in the old 1973/1975 "Six Months to Oblivion" by Werner Gerbig as well as several other books. One image, taken by an American cameraman, shows a Dora flying awfully close to a cluster of free falling US bombs and the other photo looks like a still from a home movie showing a Dora just rotating on take-off with bomb mounted beneath its fuselage (yellow 2 with the 2nd gruppe). Okay, not really what is requested, but I list these just to show the dire paucity of such material.

Those two photos mentioned are also in Lorants Le Focke Wulf book...

Hi guys

In addition to the photograph of the Fw 190 D-9 flying near the falling bombs mentioned above I also remember the three gun camera stills sourced from www.thomasgenth.de/html/iii_jg_26.html which show the Fw 190 D-9 "Yellow 15" (W.Nr. 500 118) flown by Unteroffizier Karl-Georg Genth (2 victories) of 11./JG 26 being shot down near Enschede by F/O Vassilios Vassiliades (10 victories, killed in action 25 March 1945) of 3 Sqn, RAF on 7 March 1945 as his last victory.

I realize that this is not what Peglar is asking for but this does demonstrate that there are a few photographs of a Dora-9 in flight.

Horrido!

It's a Wochenschau newsreel and II./JG 6 IIRC. I've seen the sequence of the take-off somewhere. It may be available on the net if you search.

This is the one i have.

Wochenschau excerpt with hair raising take-offs of Bf 109 G's and Fw 190 D-9's found:

Hi guys

Another in-flight photograph that purportedly shows a fighter of II./JG 26. Perhaps it is not of the best quality but nevertheless rather interesting.

Horrido!
