Re: Kdo. Nowotny markings : STOP THE MYTH !
I am only able to find four Me 262 with known W.Nr. and the "snake" pattern tain fin. From the must have Dan O'Connell book it seems that they all four got some repairs which can explain their new fin camouflage:
- 170047 "white 1+s": experimented 2 or 3 crashes before being pictured on the III./EJG2 film probably in January 1945.
- 170061 "white 4": had been pictured with a non "snake" pattern when she was "white 11" under EKdo 262.
- 170303 "V 303": pictured, probably early 45, at a time he had the tail fin from another plane, 170078. But when did 170078 got it's "snake" fin, i dont know?
- 110376 "white 7": pictured with the "snake" tail after the end of the war. She got one month repair between 10th of December and 9th of January 45 waiting for engines.
