Fw 190 Accident near Givors 17 Nov 42
 

Lt Leopold Wenger of 10./JG 2 wrote of suffering an accident on the above day and his Fw 190 being wrecked in the crash-landing. No record of it in Luftwaffe losses and it has always puzzled me-anyone have any clues?

I had a look at TNA AIR 40/1888 which has schedules of aircraft repaired at Cravant with dates of admission and discharge. Many have no unit stated, elsewhere some are listed by Gruppe, others by Staffel. There is only one from 10./JG 2 but the dates are wrong. There are three from III./JG 2 in roughly the right time frame but no way to tell if that attribution included the 10. Staffel. They are:

A-2 0216 1.12.42 4.3.43 III./JG 2
A-4 2419 12.12.43 28.2.43 III./JG 2
A-3 5343 15.12.43 18.12.42 III./JG 2
