War Weary - Time Expired Aircraft
I was reading American Eagles Vol. 4 last night and the book makes reference to 'WW' marked P-51's. At some flight hour count, these 'war weary' aircraft were pulled out of combat and transfered to operational training units. Did the Luftwaffe employ a similar system? Did the Luftwaffe have the resources to transfer high time combat aircraft to operational training units? If not, at a certain time were Fw-190's and Bf-109's rotated off the line and sent to a rebuild factory for overhaul? I've seen photos of aircraft in rebuild factories, but I always assumed that they had been in a landing accident or suffered battle damage.
I'm really interested in this aspect of Luftwaffe logistics, so if anyone has any insight to this please post!! Thanks! Bronc Last edited by Broncazonk; 26th February 2013 at 03:16.
