Hello

The object of my mail relates to the research of the identity of a pilot whose body was discovered in the wreck of its FW 190 cut down in 1944 and updated last year. The plane was found in Ouilly of Houley to 10 km in the North-East of Lisieux in Normandy (France). Neither the plate of identity nor Werk Nummer of the plane could be found. The indices are a plate carrying the Fw190 inscription, a loop of belt of officer, a radio FUG 16ZY, the color of the marking of the apparatus within Staffel (ringed sharp red figures of black identical to the 2/JG54), inscription carrying the aluminium alloy reference (see photographs), an Iron Cross of First Class, a watch STOSSFEST and the job numbers of the armament given on the Word file joint.
We identify the plane (to be confirmed) like Fw 190 A7 or A8 marked x0 red in its staffel (0 placed in second or third position of a figure bus placed on the inspection door of the left back of the fuselage). According to witnesses, the crash landing would have occurred midday one day of June 1944, period of the hays for one and only possibility for another which was evacuated in July 1944. Here a table to be corrected if required on the color of identification of Staffeln of the units of Fw 190 engaged in Normandy in June - July - August 1944. Which units other than the 2/JG54 had apparatuses marked in ringed red of black?
We hope that you will be able to help us in order to give to this man a last burial.


Cordially.
