Hauptmann Emil Lang
Hi guys
Just to note that it now appears that he actually was flying Fw 190 A-5 "Green 1" (W.Nr. 0150 1240) rather than Fw 190 A-8 "Green 1" (W.Nr. 171 240). It is possible that the undercarriage problems he experienced that day that led to his death were due to the age of this aircraft. I just wonder why a pilot like Lang would prefer an A-5 to an A-8. I recall Gene Crumpp writing that German veterans stated that the A-5 was the worst preforming A-series as compared to the A-8 which was the best preforming A-series due to the higher power to weight ratio between the two types.
Horrido!
