Re: Colourized photo of Me 262 WNr. 113368 at Innsbruck-Hötting
Quote:
NSG 9 aircraft which had been fighting since March 1944. NSG 9 progressed through four aircraft types (Ca. 314, CR. 42, Ju 87 D, Fw 190 F) and went from visual to radar-guided bombing. After June 1944 it represented the only Luftwaffe offensive airpower on the Italian front. JV 44 was 4 weeks of operations and some postwar myth-making by Adolf Galland — all that "squadron of aces" nonsense when much of the personnel consisted of ordinary NCOs and some of the injured/exhausted aces weren't in operational roles (see Robert Forsyth's book).
