They were still in Krakau 17 Sep 42 and the first recorded casualty in France was a groundcrewman on 5 Oct 42. It would appear that the switch to FW 190s started in Jan 43-the first casualty in a FW 190 was Lt Wolfgang Schleyer of 1 Staffel in an A-3, Wk Nr 5342, White 19 on 5 Jan 43. However, Bf 109s were still in evidence
