Re: Photos 6-5

Hi Ed,
Thanks for a new batch!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=280121981602

Is the same Fw 190 as appears in several published sources. on P.78 in Walk Around No.22, Focke Wulf 190A/F, Squadron/signal publ. it is described as:
Fw 190 F-8, Yellow 14, W.Nr. 584592, found at Neubiberg in 1945. Perhaps from SG 2 or SG 10 according to this source.
In this view the port side and the tactical markings are visible.

It also appears in :
Luftwaffe Camouflage and Markings 1933-1945 Vol 1, Merrick, P.103, here (wrongly) captioned as "Yellow 12".(Corrected to "Yellow 14" W.Nr. 584592 in Corrigenda to Vol 1)
Luftwaffe Camouflage and Markings 1933-1945 Vol 2, Merrick, P.446, here captioned as a "Fw190 G-8".

Previously a similar photo of the opposite side of this 109 from this "Bruchlandung" was up for sale.

Apparently W.Nr. 1128, White 3, again. From 1/JG26 and crash-landed in Dortmund (?) in January of 1940.
German book: "Dortmund - Bombenkrieg und Nachkriegsalltag" by GE Sollbach.
Info credit to one of the members who posted the info when another photo, showing the tactical marking, was auctioned a while ago.
