Re: Fw 190 A-8, I./JG 301

Hi Michael;
W. Nr. 737938 is an Fw 190 A-8 "Blue 9" of 4./JG 301. It was not equipped with outboard 20 mm cannons. There is no ETC rack mounted visible in the 5 or 6 known photos of this a/c. However, the main fuel cell has been removed through the large access panel underneath the center of the wing. To do this, if there was an ETC rack, it would have had to be removed. Possibly this is why it is not seen in any of the known photos. By the way, this machine was equipped with a blown canopy.
Cheers,
Jerry
