FW-190D in gun camera film?

[Revi16]

Is this a FW-190D in the gun camera film? I didn't have sound with the video incase it was mentioned there.

Leo Etgen covered this in his post on the 25th of October. See below.

In addition to the photograph of the Fw 190 D-9 flying near the falling bombs mentioned above I also remember the three gun camera stills sourced from www.thomasgenth.de/html/iii_jg_26.html which show the Fw 190 D-9 "Yellow 15" (W.Nr. 500 118) flown by Unteroffizier Karl-Georg Genth (2 victories) of 11./JG 26 being shot down near Enschede by F/O Vassilios Vassiliades (10 victories, killed in action 25 March 1945) of 3 Sqn, RAF on 7 March 1945 as his last victory.

Hi there Revi16,

Yes, it's clearly a "langnase Dora".

I checked out your film with Thomas Genth's excellent website dedicated among others to the flying career of his father Karl-Georg Genth; his last flight aboard Fw 190 D-9 W.Nr. 500 118 took place on 7 March 1945, as his was shot down by F/O. Basilios M.Vassiliades's Tempest Mark V EJ 755 coded "JF-E". He could fortunaetely bail out and save his life albeit wounded.

Mr. Genth does publish three stills taken by the gun camera of F/O Vassiliades and I tend to think that youy Youtube movie plays it out in extenso.

Great find anyway. This reminds me of the thread asking about photos of Fw 190 D-9's in flight some weeks ago here. Another piece for the D-9 file!

Cheers
Marc
