Top Fw 190 aces

Hi guys

Another fellow that I have seen mentioned as perhaps being the top or one of the top Dora-9 aces is Fahnenjunker-Oberfeldwebel Heinz Marquardt of 13./JG 51 who is reputed to have claimed 22 victories in April 1945 and one on 1 May 1945 at a time when IV./JG 51 was equipped with Fw 190 A-8 and Fw 190 D-9 fighters. Unfortunately, as with Major Anton Hackl, it is not known which type(s) he flew when achieving these. Personally, at the current point in time and based on the available evidence I would say that Oberleutnant Hans Dortenmann is the verified holder of the title.

Horrido!

Leo
