Re: Photos 4-18

Hello!

This Fw 190 A(-5 or -6) photo is very interesting:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=220397425726

Could this be the "white 2" of Herbert Aloe 4./JG 54 who was shot down June 21st, 1944 near Viipuri?

Certainly the plane has all the attributes for II/JG 54. Later in the Summer the yellow fuselage band upper part was usually painted over, though. This photo might have been taken at Petseri (Pechory) May 1944?

Loss of Aloe and Knöbel has been discussed earlier in thread "IL-2 vs JG 54" at the forum:
