Re: Top Fw 190 aces

From Fighter Aces of the Luftwaffe by Toliver & Constable ( 1977 ) I have Brendal with 189, Sterr with 130, Tegtmaier with 146, and Albin Wolf with 154.

These are their totals and not broken out by fighter aircraft. Some of us invest in books like the Osprey collections that render different breakouts of scores, like Fw190 totals, including Eastern, Mediterranean, and Western fronts, as well as Defence of the Reich. Breakouts there include Fw190 totals apart from other fighter aircraft.

Again not perfect since without log books it may never be known what aircraft they flew when scoring victories. Authors have attempted to correlate this by the timeline of the group they flew with and what type of aircraft the group was assigned.

I use LEMB, LRG and Kacha’s Luftwaffe page although it has not been updated in a long time. With more research constantly going on, more information comes to light and could affect scoring.
