Re: Fw190A of KG51

I have info that Fw 190 were flown by a pilot from 5./KG 51 from München-Riem September, October 1944 (Logbook entry). I also think that red 3 belonged to III./KG 51 not 3./KG 51. The 9K code was 1/5 the size of normal as with most late war applications for KG 51. The spiral issue can be explained through the fact that most Fw 190 with KG 51 were in the training role for NSGr 20. The training unit was also refered to as III./KG 51 Erg.-Staffel (Nacht).

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Norbert
