Hello,

For the FW 190 S-8 W.nr. 680430,

http://www.soldiersmuseum.com/pages/...armored-56.htm

i don't find the emblem on the books:
-Luftwaffe emblems 1939-1945
-Luftwaffe fledglings 1935-1945
from Hikoki publications.

Anybody have this emblem in another book ? Or another picture ?

On the book Luftwaffe codes, markings and units 1939-1945 from military history book; the JG110 was formed from FFS/B 10 but the emblem of this school unit was a black rabbit. I don't think that it's this emblem on the picture.

Thank you in advance,

Best regards,

Lumabe.

Hi Lumabe,

The only probable reference I've found so far is: Rodeike 1998, 372 shows also a FW 190S-8 "White 30" but seen from the other side. If this is the case, Rodeike gives the unit as 1./JG 110.

Source: Rodeike 1998: Peter Rodeike, Focke-Wulf Jagdflugzeug, Fw 190A, Fw 190 "Dora" Ta 152H, Struve-Druck, Eutin.

Hope this helps

It's a survivor Fw 190 A-2 or A-3
Even the national markings seem original, early style ones.

Kuba, Skyraider,

By magnifiying this odd FW 190 A picture, I did just notice the very small Stammkennzeichen DK+EG. An other oddity!

Cheers

I think this early war Fw 190 (A-2/3) is the very same as seen in Luftwaffe im Focus No. 8 page 47, lower photo. That image is of much higher quality but being a close-up it only shows the latter part of the code (+BG) and a numeral "3" which may have been green, red or blue! The numeral is obscured in this full-view image.

The camouflage and overpainted original Stammkennzeichen (see the uniformly coloured patches behind and in front of the Balkenkreuz) are the same on both photos. Even the mottling matches!

Regards,

Kjetil

It can be the same plane. Note the broken down pitot tube. Its same position in both photos.
