Focke Wulfs Fw 190 of Maj. Heinz Bär.
Hello,
I confirm – both “red 13” W.Nr. 431007 and “red 23” were Focke Wulfs Fw 190 A-7, they were both armed with 2 cannons in their wings only. “Red 23” was Bär’s reserve machine.
On both planes there were red horizontal bars – markings of 2nd gruppe, painted on red Reichsverteidigung belts. Also on both; black caps with white spirals, lower parts of the engines yellow and badges of JG 1 painted on engine's covers.
Difference – on “red 13” white rudder with indication of 200 victories while on “red 23” rudder was in normal camouflage colour without any markings.
Regards
Nef
PS. As I know, JG 1 was named “Oesau” after Gulle’s death on 11 May 1944, so in the late April 1944 it still shouldn’t have any name.
