Re: E-bay pics

Greetings,

First, thank you for posting these great photos.

Also, Goran is more than correct about the provenance of some them, specifically, this one:

http://cgi.ebay.de/Foto-Fw190-A-JG30...item439f070a86
This photograph is probably many generations old, and comes from a series taken at Neubiberg by the late Merle C. Olmsted (that’s Merle sitting on the wing). Listed as a “Foto Fw190 A JG301 Flugzeug Aircraft 1945 Luftwaffe 2wk,” it has been published dozens of times before and does not illustrate an Fw 190 A from JG 301. My records and other photos show it to be:

F-190 F-9/R1 WNr. 428639, <<+ - Gn o/l Bk, Stab/II./SG 10, purportedly flown to Neubiberg by St.Führ. Maj. Götz Baumann.

Buyers beware!

Steve Sheflin
PS: Sorry about the bold type. I can't seem to make it go away.
