Re: JG 301 or ... JG 5 ?
Hi.
Unless the colours of the numeral on this "Black 9" could be blue it simply cannot be a machine from JG 5. Only two Staffeln operated Fw 190s in Norway at the time, 9. Staffel with white numerals and 12. Staffel with blue (exact hue is a matter of debate!).
Could you perhaps post the photo in question? Clues useful to identify machines from 9. and 12./JG 5 from late 1944 to the end of the war are the cowling ring in Staffel colour and spinners in either white with black spirals (often, but not always seen on 9. Staffel's Focke-Wulfs) or blue with white spirals (12. Staffel).
Regards,
Kjetil Aakra
