Re: FW190 stolen by Lt Bruce Carr

Hello

Lt Bruce Carr stole of a Fw 190A (hybrid assembled with pieces of A-6 and A-8 models) . The action took place after war in any way . Did it flew it from Linz or Ansbach? , nothing is clearly established within the documents I have .

So arriving over Ansbach where his FG sqn was posted , Lt Carr was unable to get the landing gear down , he made a perfect belly landing on the grass airfield . This scene has been heavily photographed .

The Fw190 A was probably a former machine held by EKG(J) at Pilsen . This unit was disbanded at the end of March 1945 and the machines were split everywere in Germany , several found in Pilsen , one in Berlin, one in Ansbach ...

The code of the Fw 190A was red 31 + ~.

Hope that helps
