Werknr 171472 of FW 190 ??
 

Hello,

Can anybody link this Werknr 171472 to a unit, pilot or aircraft? Probably a
Fw 190 ???
Thanks

Alexander

I can only confirm that this was a Fw 190 A-8 built by one of Focke Wulfs plants at Kottbus, Marienburg and Sorau from March 1944. I have no info on the aircraft you are looking for, but an number of aircraft around this W.Nr. were allocated to J.G.1 and J.G.6.

Alexander, perhaps if you could tell where you got the WNr. we could tell more. Closest numbers are from I./JG 11.

I./JG 2, I./Gg 26 and II./JG 26 are further away...

cheers,

John.

Hello,

I've received this werknr from the daughter of a WW2 veteran who stayed at the airbase of Saint-Trond (A-92), Belgium in 1944/1945.
Aircarft was abandoned or crashed....perhaps during "Bodenplatte"?? So may be JG 2 then!
Cheers,

Alexander

Not a Bodenplatte crash. Probably left behind in September 1944. It is known that at least 2 Ju 88's and 2 Fw 190's, all stripped, were found at St.Trond.

hello John,

Thanks for the information. I rechecked with the person of the US and It seems to be that it was one of the FW 190's which were abandoned at
A-92.

Alexander
