Re: Mistel photo - eBay

Steve,

the number at the Fw 190 is the conversion number of this aircraft into a Mistel component. It has had no relation to the production number of the Fw 190 or the Ju 88. For example this Fw 190 "046" was flown on 11.02.45 and 13.02.45 two times on training missions together with the Ju 88G-1 WNr. 714651.

Re: Mistel photo - eBay

Hello again Merlin,

Thank you for the great information. I will update my files accordingly.

Do you have any idea of the meaning of the four white digits "1030" visible on the Fw190 in question?
