Re: Belly landed Fw 190 at Fürth May 1945
Hello Roger,
Unless I am mistaken, the aircraft in question was AGO-built Fw 190 A-8 WNr. 739276. It markings were <◄c+ all outlined in white. The second chevron was a small solid triangle enclosed by the larger chevron, while the “c” is small.
I first illustrated this aircraft in AIRFOIL #3 in 1985. According to the noted aviation historian Tom Ivie, this Focke-Wulf was forced down at Fürth by F-6C (P-51D) pilots Lt. Ed Kinney and Lt. Bob Marple of the 12th TACR Squadron.
