Re: Ta 152 production numbers

Hi there Kutscha,

I just checked the production figures given by Thomas Hitchcock in his recent opus:

Hitchcock (Th), 2010: The Focke-Wulf Ta 152, Monogram Monarch Series Number Three, Eagle Editions, Hamilton Mt.

P. 189 - 191 sum up the following figures:

The Focke-Wulf Sorau factory produced 25 prototypes: W.Nr. 110 001 - 110 025

The Focke-Wulf Cottbus factory produced more then 40 and no more then 55 Ta 152 H-0
The same factory did achieve producing approximatively 17 Ta 152 H-1
All told, the Focke-Wulf Cottbus plant produced between 57 and 72 Ta 152's.

Beyond those figures, Mimetall (MML) managed to produce two TA 152 C-1, hastily delivered to JG 301.

This tops off the finished planes... with between 84 to 99 Ta 152's built.

As for the unfinished machines, US units did find in April 1945 at the Mimetall plant in Erfurt about a dozen Ta 152 E-0/E-1 short span planes and two Ta 152 H-11 recce version in an advanced assembly state, but yet unfinished.
Similarly, at leat one Ta 152 H-1/R11 was nearing completion at the Focke-Wulf Bremen plant, and several Ta 152 C-1/R11 were under assembly at the ATG plant in Leipzig.

Hope this helps

Cheers
Marc
