Re: Early FW 190 listings

For WNr. 0045 & 0065 I have the following (the last isn't a loss, but a FB entry):

Fw 190A-1, 10045, Wolf, Uffz. Martin, , , , JGr.West, , , , , 07-Jan-43, Killed in crash., , Lfl.3/FR, Gen.Qu.6.Abt. (mfm #8)-Vol.13, , südlich Bordeaux, 100%, H, , ,
Fw 190A-1, 10045, n.n., , III., III., JG 26, , , , , 24-Apr-42, Bruchlandung due to technical failure., WNr. 045 per loss., Lfl.3/Kanal, Gen.Qu.6.Abt. (mfm #5)-Vol.8; Prien, et al, Die Jagdfliegerverbände, VII, p.400, , Fl.Pl. Wevelghem, 40%, F, , ,
Fw 190A-1, 10065, Pistor, Uffz. Georg, , III., 8., JG 26, , , , , 05-Dec-41, Sperrflug., , Lfl.3/Kanal, FB, , Fl.Pl. Coquelles, -, F, , ,



And the loss that Andreas referred to I have transcribed as: Fw 190A-5, 0029, ./., , I., I., SG 101, , , , , 30-Apr-44, Bombenwurf., , Lfl.Reich/FR, BA-MA Signatur RL 2 III/779, Flzg.-Unfälle und Verluste bei Schulen und usw., p.35, , Fl.Pl. Clermont-Ferrand, 100%, H, , ,



As anyone who has worked with the Schulen losses (Gen.Qu. stuff too) should know, sub types, as listed, are often wrong, not to mention that leading digits of WNr. are oft times truncated. This happens big time with Ju 88s in particular!! Since the A-5 WNr. 410029 was reported as a 70% loss with JG 51 in Oct-43, Andreas is more than likely correct with his listing.
