Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Hello Rudi,
Unless I am mistaken, your Post #5574 is the oft-photographed, AGO-built, Fw190A-8, WNr. 737938. Marked 9+ blue, it last served with 4./JG301, and featured that units 2xred/yellow RV bands. Rare for a late-war fighter, it sported the name “Steppke” and a “Starke Mann” crest on its left cockpit side.
My identification of this aircraft is confirmed by the He111 fuselage hulk to its left side.
Respectfully,
Steve Sheflin
