Stig,

Thanks. I feel the same way. If I see a good photo of an odd type, I will post it.

Hi Ed and Stig,

The German handwriting is very difficult for me to decipher, especially the dates, but I think I gleaned the following Fw190s from the first Flugbuch:

Flight #1 - 190G-3, 160861 (PE+QE), 44/01/08
Flight #7 - 190A-6, 470411, 44/05/05, Fl.Pl. Le Bourget, France
Flight #11 - 190A-7, 431043, 44/05/06, Fl.Pl. Chartres, France
Flight #13 - 190A-7, 431002, 44/05/08, Fl.Pl. Chartres, France
Flight #14 - 190A-6, 650316, 44/05/27, Fl.Pl. Le Bourget, France
Flight #15 - 190A-6, 670256, 44/06/01, Fl.Pl. Le Bourget, France

I look forward to additions and corrections.

Steve Sheflin

PS: Can anyone make out the pilot’s name?

Hi Steve,

The logbook belongs to Günther Esau of 7./S.G. 4. Copies of his earlier logbook were available on eBay in the past.
