Fw 190 loss of JG 26?
Gentlemen,
I visited the crashplace of an unknown german a/c today. I spend a lot of hours in identifying this a/c in the last two years, but I couldn't find anything about this loss until today. The facts are: timeframe: late August until early October 1943 a/c: definitly a Fw 190 A, a BMW motor was recovered in 1946/47 crew: pilot bailed out savely location: about 20 kms SSE of Koblenz, 5 kms NE of St. Goarshausen cause: engine failure (after aerial combat?) The pilot mentioned that his unit was based "near Brussels", he tried to reach an airfield in the Mainz-Wiesbaden area. Maybe this could be an indication of a JG 26 a/c, some parts of this unit were based in the Brussel area during this period. It was definitly not the a/c of Fw. Erhard Bruhnke (1./JG 1), he died in his Fw 190 A-5 some kms NW of this crashplace in the vincinity of Dachsenhausen at 31. August 1943. Every idea about an unit of this a/c would be interesting for me... Regards, Heuser Last edited by Heuser; 16th October 2006 at 10:26. |
