Re: Fw 190 D-9 21x 129

Has there been any more information about this aircraft?

I believe W.Nr. 210129 was most likely a 12./JG 54 machine coded Red 9. W.Nr. 210128, Yellow 9, was a different aircraft. Claes Sundin obviously based his color profile on photos of W.Nr. 210129, but W.Nr. 210128 was 100% destroyed on 29 December 1945, so it cannot have been the aircraft that was later photographed by US soldiers.

JG 11 would be possible as well if the tail band was yellow, but according to Japo Fw 190 D-9 Vol. 1 only few D-9s were delivered to JG 1 and no photographs are known that would show a yellow tail band.
