Erwin Clausen, JG 11 Fw 190

[JanZ]

Hi everyone,

I am looking for photo of Focke-Wulf of Maj. Erwin Clausen, from time when he led the I./JG 11.

I will be very grateful for any your suggestion where to find the photo.

Thanks and best regards to all,
Jan

Hi

Just in case this can help, I only know two published photos:

Prien and Rodeike, Jagdgeschwader 1 und 11, Vol 1

pag.417, an almost useless one, but it is possible to see markings as the white tail band, and a typical 74/75/76 camouflage.

pag 472. The tail and rudder victory markings. I have seen it in other publications as well.

According to the text, it is the A-5/U12 Y W.Nr. 7358.

Perhaps the authors are going to surprise us with one or more new photos in the Jagdfliegerverbände 10/II...

Regards

Saludos

Gentlemen,

thank for your replies!

Miguel, please is possible to scan for me the photos in Prien and Rodeike, Jagdgeschwader 1 und 11, Vol 1.? Especially the pg. 417.

I have a photo of the tail (pg. 472), but perhaps the one in your book will be better.

I am gathering material for some profiles and because of the nice rudder I would like to add also the Clausen´s plane, but it seems to be impossible to reconstruct.

I appreciate if is possible to scan the photo and perhaps send me offboard (just for study, not printing or web posting)

Thanks again, Jan

I'll try to scan it and send it to you by e-mail during this weekend.
