Re: FW-187 with a 3.7 CM cannon

Hi Peter and all of you out there!

Happy New Year from Taipei to all of you! The 101 building on fireworks display is amazing!

Amazing aircraft the Fw 187 - The lost Mossie killer????

Anyway, the top photo was published om page 96 in "Focke-Wulf Fw 187 Der vergessene Hochleistungsjäger" by Herrmann and Petrick, Aviatic Verlag.(Later turned into a Schiffer version I believe)
It is Fw 187 A-0, CA+WZ, pictured in Vaerlöse, Denmark when used by the "Luftschiessschule" stationed there.

I have been intrigued by this aircraft ever since I found a WW2 German book with colour photos/alt.period colourized of this aircraft in my father's collection, several of which have been reproduced in b/w since - Also in the book mentioned above.

Cheers
Goran
