Re: JAGDGRUPPE WEST PAINT SCHEME

Salut Gilles!

From memory (the book is not at hand now), some Heimdal books (La Luftwaffe face au Débarquement) seems to have some Pictures of JAGDGRUPPE WEST (at least there was one from a former JG 54 ace that was sent there as a Flight Instructor.

Some months ago (guess February 2017), some Fw 190 pictures from the South of France (Jagdgruppe West) were sold at Ebay.

I understand that those Fw 190A's from Jagdgruppe West were all "veterans" (second-hand machines), I mean, they were previously used by other Jagdgeschwaders, like JG 2, JG 26. I have seen, if memory does not fail me, some old Bf 109 E being used there, by 1943...so, perhaps if you do know the werknummer of the machine you are looking for, some specialists here on the Fórum can track down the camouflage/paint scheme.

I will try to find something for you on my files, but give me some time, please

Adriano
