W.Nr. of Me 262 flown by Ofw. Willi Banzhaff
Hello everybody,
I was wondering if anyone knows, or could make an educated guess, about the W.Nr. of the Me 262 that Willi Banzhaff was shot down in. According to Me 262 in Combat by Marek Murawski, Banzhaff was shot down on November 3rd 1944 by a Tempest pilot, J.B. Wray. Since the Me 262 was an early production machine serving with Kommando Nowotny, I'm thinking that the W.Nr. would probably belong to the 170xxx, 130xxx, or 110xxx series. Interestingly, J.B. Wray described the Me 262's he encountered on that day (one of which was Banzhaff's) as "...camouflaged in blue and grey..." (Murawski Pg. 30). This indicates that the Me 262 was painted in RLM 74 and 75. Thoughts? Best regards, Jon
