Re: mystery fw-190
Well, it seems that I have to answer this one....
I believe I did not say it wasn't an JG 6 aircraft, but I said there is no evidence except for that band if you find that proof enough... The problem is that in Kagero Fw 190 Vol. II three pictures of allegedly JG 6 aircraft are shown. Page 57 (this one) and two on page 60. All belong to the "Schlitter Collection".....btw if anybody knows who that is, please drop me a PM.
Let me explain why I doubt these are JG 6 a/c. First of all the one on page 57 is said to be I./JG 6 at Perleberg. The pictures I have from I./JG 6 at Perleberg do not show RVT bands. The picture at Page 60 top can not be I./JG 6 as this unit did not use an outline on the Kennzeichen. Could be II./JG 6 but I can't see a II. Gruppe bar. The one at page 60 bottom doesn't show any details at all.
So, I am not sure about the credibility of the photo captions of Kagero.
Cheers,
John.
