Re: unkown a/c - 3/3/44 Dora-9?
The description sounds like the black and white noses that JG1 wore on their Fw190A-6's and A-7's. These aircraft did have longer noses than the early A-4's and A-3's. That in combination with the striped noses might have led the pilots to think that the noses were longer than they actually were.
They propably thought of the engine cowlings ending at about the leading edge of the wing but the cowling goes a bit further back and that would become evident with that kind of paintjob on them.
In blurry, fast guncam pictures the Fw190A-8 does look a bit longer from some angles than one would imagine...
