352. This is also a known aircraft of
Kommando Nowotny. It is W.Nr. 110389 "white 2". According to Dan O'Connell's
Me 262 Production Log, "At 11.25 [sic] on 6 November 1944 this aircraft took off from Achmer but became engaged in combat with a P-51 of the U.S. 357th FG, and was also shot at by German flak. Its pilot, Lt. Herbert Spangenberg of
1. Kommando Nowotny, made an emergency landing due to a fuel shortage at Lehmwerder. The aircraft hit a shed at 11.25 and was 50% damaged." Note the addition of the dark camo splotches over its previous camouflage right down to its wing roots and covering the narrow yellow band still seen on the underside RLM 76. The starboard engine nacelle is at the extreme right mainly in RLM 76.

353. This Me 262 A-1a is W.Nr. 110372 "white 3". Note the characteristics is that ofan aircraft of
Kommando Nowotny. The numeral is on the nose, the dark camouflage reaches the wing roots, and it lacks both the narrow yellow band and a
Kaulquappe tail of some
III./EJG 2 Me 262s. This may be the aircraft in which Ltn. Alfred Schreiber on 26 November 1944 suffered a flame-out just after take-off and was killed when his plane flipped over in the resulting
notlandung. As
Kommando Nowotny was disbanded on 24 November 1944 becoming
III./JG 7 [RL 2-III/64 p. 0011], Schreiber was then technically a member of
9./JG 7.
