Re: Color photos of captured Fw 190 A of Sch.G.2
Hi Roger and David,
The aircraft shown on the photos is Fw 190 A-5/U8 W.Nr 0150 1437 'Yellow O' of 7./Sch.G. 2, captured by the Allies at Catania airfield. This aircraft, piloted by Ofw. Johannsen, made a forced landing at Catania on 3 July due to engine problems, and was then damaged in a bombing raid on 4 July. Ofw. Johannsen continued to serve with the same Staffel when it became 3./SG 4 in October 1943. The story of this aircraft and the Fw 190-equipped units in Sicily is due to be released soon in our book 'Fw 190 in the Battle for Sicily', and I will make an annoncement as soon as it is available. Unfortunately, a sample of the book exceeds the size limit for this site, but there will be a sample available online soon. Instead I have attached the cover of the book. All the best Morten
