Re: 587xxx Arado-produced Fw 190 production date
Hello Seaplanes, John and Steve,
Thank you for all the information. My information is from Monogram Close-Up 8 page 30 where a photo of the F-8 W.Nr. 587108 that also Steve mentions can be found.
I have two more original photos from 587108 that came from different sources. They both have wartime captions on the backside. One says the location was Namur, Belgium while the others says "near Dusseldorf".
Dusseldorf is about 150 km away from Lippstadt and Namur about 300 km. Steve, do you know why the location of 587108 and 587111 is given as Lippstadt (maybe there is a more reliable reason for it like an Allied captured material report?).
Seaplanes, do you have information about when the 586 and 588xxx series were being built? With such information one could infer the prodution time range of the 587xxx range assuming that it was done in-between.
Regards,
Roger
