FW 190 Wk Nrs
 
Can anyone confirm any of these:

Wk Nr 1312-did it fly with JG 2?
Wk Nr 0746 & 0314-both were flown by Wurmheller but what became of them?
Wk Nr 5384-is this a good Wk Nr for White 8 of 7/JG 2? If so what happened to it?

Hello Chris

According to Focke Wulf Jagdflugzeug by Rodeike, Fw 190 A-4 "Yellow 4" (0140 746) was flown by Oberleutnant Siegfried Schnell (93 victories, RK-EL, killed in action 25 February 1944), Staffelkapitän of 9./JG 2. It was lost on 1 October 1944 with 4./JG 110 as "Blue 25" when Fahnenjunker-Unteroffizier Rudolf Schramm fatally crashed near Fuchshain. The same source states that Fw 190 A-6 "Yellow 2" (W.Nr. 530 314) was flown by Oberleutnant Josef Wurmheller (102 victories, RK-S, killed in action 22 June 1944), Staffelkapitän of 9./JG 2, and it was lost on 23 September 1943 when he landed at Vannes during a bombing raid. I hope this helps somewhat.

Horrido!

Cannot recognize 1312. Should it be 1501312?

I have this (GQM gives WNr. 550314, but it seems not to be correct):

Thanks gentlemen. Wk Nr 5384 cannot be the one as in my photo which is clearly 8+I of 7/JG 2. Maybe 5284-it looks toi have an undercarriage collapse
