Japanase Fw 190 A-5

Hi
A letter from Mitsubishi Shoji Kaisha dated 21/1/43 to Focke Wulf quoted the 4 c/n as a block 1087-90 so for me new build aircraft. My post before this one was a failed attempt to show the Mitsubishi doc

To answer Christian ,this Mitsubishi document and the Focke Wulf one added earlier are from original documents held at Duxford and were captured in Japan i.e Fokkes and Koch files therefore authentic.

An interesting postscript to this story is published here on the Arawasi website. The picture shows the fuselage of a FW 190 found in a hangar at Tachikawa, Japan after the war. It was taken by a member of the US Navy 15th Naval Construction Battalion and published in the cruisebook of the unit.
No visible markings as far as I can determine.

Hi Hans. Interesting. Yes, the 190 and the wing is also there behind it.

Wow! Great image Hans!
it now confirms that for sure 2 Fw 190s made it to Japan. The image is of low res but I cannot see any markings on the wings in the background either.
