Re: Fw 190 A-8, I./JG 301
Hey guys, something isn't right.
The authors claim this 190 was with JG 301, but the tonal value of what looks like two colored tail bands, suggest otherwise. JG 301 always had the red band aft, yet this is clearly not the case in this photo. The authors dismiss this by saying something to the effect the unit's painter got the order of color mixed up ("reverse application"). IMHO this unsubstanciated conclusion is a BIG leap into a deep, deep hole. Then too, if this was a JG 301 aircraft, where's the gruppen mark? There isn't any! Same comments also apply to the other Crow photo attributed to JG 301. Personally, I haven't any idea what unit operated these two 190s, but it sure wasn't JG 301.
