Re: Konrad Bauer
Hi,
W. Nr 681 469 were produced by Fiesler plant in Kassel, propably in August 1944. Most of Fiesler Fw 190s were a Fw 190A-8/R2 Sturmbock variant.
I'm always interested about claims/real losses rate. On 11 september (when Bauer claimed 3 P-51) all Luftwaffe units claimed 18 Mustangs, including two with no witness (According Tonny Woods files). VIII FC confirmed loss of 25 Mustangs, 13 of them in aeral combats (according Fighter Units and Pilots of the 8th USAAF by K. D. Miller). It's pretty good result, but few of P-51s can by downed by some of 60 Luftwaffe pilots killed on that day.
