Fw 190 A-8, I./JG 301

[Harold Lake]

For me, here's the bottom line: claiming W.Nr. 737938 was really operated by JG 301, without supporting official documentation, just because the colors of this airplane's tail bands appear to resemble those of the well know JG 301, is LAZY research. Covering up ignorance by language (e.g. "reverse application") for a supposed unit error is meaningless. I say that if it can be proved that W.nr. 737938 did in fact fly with JG 301, as the authgors claim, then as far as I'm concerned, that nails it. But, the notion that the officers of JG 301 would have permitted such an obvious bungling of an important aircraft unit recohnition device is pure nonsense, so what is Mr. Sheflin's evidence?
