Re: Fw 190 D-13?
Hi Guys;
Thanks Roger for posting this very intriguing photo. The problem is of course, the image is so small, it is difficult to be 100% sure. However, this a/c in the foreground is a D-9 not a D-13. It is equipped with the standard D-9 VS 111 propeller and not the wider VS 9 mounted on a D-13. Another clue is, it appears the ground crew are loading 20 mm ammunition into the boxes under the wing, note the long rectangular doors are hanging open. The crew man standing on the wing appears to have the gun cowl open and is attending to the two 13 mm machine guns on the D-9. since the D-13 has no guns in that position, this all points to this a/c being a D-9. The Dora in the background is very hard to see, but possibly has the wider VS 9 propellers...but that is only a guess. I am curious as to what kind of machine from which this photo was taken. Roger - do you know who purchased this photo? Thanks again, cheers, Jerry
