Reschke's Ta-152\Mitchell's Tempest

[digiartist]

Thank you Erich and Olivier, you've both been extremely helpful! I keep reading it was either 'white 1' 'green 1' or 'black 13' but to get the definitve answer from Willi himself would be superb.

best regards,

Hi Guys,
Willi Reschke never flew a Ta 152 with "Black 13" or "Green 1".On April 14 1945 he flew " White 1" and claimed a Tempest.This was his first flight after joining the Stabsschwarm of JG 301. Gareth, I sent you an e-mail answering your questions.
Hope this helps, cheers, Jerry

Jerry,

I know you´re a close friend of W.R. but there´s something strange. I´m in touch with him, we have visited him twice in Germany and he visited us here in Banov, Czech Republic, where he got the chance to see a spot of his crash landing from Aug. 29, 1944.
When I asked him which TA´s he flew, he said white 1 and 2, green 1 and 9 and black 13. Can send you a copy of his letter. If you wish contact me at

Jerry,

2 weeks ago I sent a letter to Willi Reschke and asked him which is correct, 3 or 13. I got an answer today. You´re right, W.R. confirmed it was really black 3 instead of black 13.
