Re: Me 262 in Italy - photo evidence

Stig,

If it helps, despite Horn referring to Werk-Nr. 170 053 as a "A-1a" in his text p. 284 and p. 296, on p.286 of Das Flurschaden-Geschwader he writes:

"Ein Fernschreiben der I./KG 51 am 31. März um 13:00 Uhr an den IT Stab/KG 51 besagt:
'1.) Die Me 262 A-2a (Rote 1: Werk-Nr. 170 053) startet um 05:05 Uhr des 31. März nach Unterschlauersbach über Burg.
2.) Die Me 262 (Werk-Nr. 170 090), Ofw. Zeppenfeld und die Werk-Nr. 500 050, Ofw. Wessel, landeten in Rheinselen. Sie übergaben die Werk-Nr. 170 090 und 500 050 an das NAGr. 6.'"


I hope this helps,

Jim

p.s Daniel,

Horn, p. 284, simply refers to the event as occurring "westlich Landshut" without giving a source, but in the index of losses, p. 362, gives Strate as the pilot involved on 6 February again without sources.
