Fw 190 A-5 W.Nr. 5988

Dear TOCH,

With the snow coming down outside, it's time to examine another data/ID plate. . .

This one's marked Fw 190 A5 U3 TP with W.Nr. 5988. A bit of research suggests that the full W.Nr. is 0155 988. I presume "TP" indicates that it's a tropicalized (i.e., Tp) version. The plate also shows the manufacturer to be Arado and a build year of 1943.

What can be said about the history of this airplane?

Thank you,
Steve

PS: A scan of the plate will follow.
