Re: Missing Fw 190 pilot found in Normandy

550175 was built by ACO at Oschersleben .

We can even notice that it was fitted with a narrow head armor plate , which first led us to a A-3 or A-4 model .
There's a .50 bullet strike on the front side of that plate , hence the theory about 322nd BG Marauders .

A good result that this man has been identified and to know that he was not officially 'missing'.
