Re: Impact of Fw 190A introduction in the east
Gentlemen,
picking up Leo Etgen's thread, I dare say that the Fw 190 did have its impact on the aerial war in the East as can be seen from the following exemplary figures of I./JG 51, which was the first Gruppe to convert to the Focke-Wulf: In the first half year of 1943 I./JG 51 claimed a total of 307 enemy aircraft shot down for the total loss of only seven Fw 190s due to enemy action with four more being damaged. In this process six pilots were lost - killed, missing or captured - and one more was wounded. Even given an inevitable degree of over-claiming ( I./JG 51 not being one of the notoriously "optimistical" units ) I would find this a quite impressive ratio of claims to losses. Regards Jochen Prien
