FW190D-13

[RT]

Seems it hv been allocated at the war-end some D-9/D-13 to 1.NAGr.1, particulary a D-13 Wn 836002, is there any confirmation for this Wn ???

Japo's Fw 190 D Volume 2, page 464, notes one a/c in the 836 xxx series and that is the famous 10-+- used in performance trials against a Tempest on 25 Jun 45. So, there is no reason why earlier production numbers couldn't have found their way to various units.

I would think it odd that a D-13 would be used in a Reconnaissance role?
George does make a good point, with Yellow 10's Wn 836017, there are a handfull of potential AC that could have been Unit active from the series block.
I would suspect allocated for Fighter unit use, However I have learned to never say never when it comes to the Luftwaffe! Recon Anyone?
What is your scource for this use of a D-13 Remi?

They hv not one but 4 Fw190D , 2 D-9 2 D-13, Recce units hv gen. the state of the art in pilots nd machines Me262/Ar234, further organisation nd logic was not the first quality of german in 1945

Greetings Remi!!!! Two (2) D-13's??? this is interesting! I still wonder what your scource is for this? Just that any reliable scource would make this perhaps more believable, And perhaps further research would follow knowing We are not looking for the good ole' "White Elephant"?
Wishing you a great 2009!
