Re: Eagle Head Motif on the Fw 190
Just for fun, I have been building a table listing all known Black Eagle Fw 190s from III./JG 2. I have now 19 of them from photos. The last one that I have is a Fw 190A-5 which was damaged on the first of May 1943. No A-6, A-7, or A-8s with the classic Black Eagle are known to me in photographs.
One suspects that during 1943 the growing attrition rate for JG 2 plus, perhaps, an end to the "intelligence giveaway" in the distinctive marking put an end to application of the Black Eagle marking.
