Re: Belly landed Fw 190 at Fürth May 1945
Hello All,
Don't know whether this helps, or otherwise. I have just been leafing through my copy of Steve's Airfoil No. 3 and note the following:
1.The panoramic shot of the wrecked aircraft is captioned "A panoramic shot which clearly details the fate of most of the planes gathered at Furth. .... In the right centre is the Gruppe Technical Officer's Fw190D-9 in dark green 82 and Gray Violet 75. To the left is Black 4+-, a D-9 with 75/76 (or 77?) upper wing splinter, along with the fuselage of a Bf109K-4 in 82/75 with a yellow fuselage band".
2. There is a photo of a radial Fw190 still with the factory codes BG+KQ. Although this photo is with the others from Furth, it does not state that the photo was taken at Furth. Steve's caption did not state this aircraft flew into Furth on May 8th, so it may have been there already.
3. There is a photo at Furth of a Bf109E. W. Nr. 3552. Steve's caption did not state that this aircraft flew into Furth on May 8th, so it may have already been there.
As I said, I hope this helps and I hope Steve does not mind me quoting his captions. :-)
