JV 44's Me262 last tranfers to Hinnsbruck-Hotting
To ours Me 262 experten:
"In battle over Bavaria" Major Hans-Ekkehard Bob recalls that he was instructed to proceed (around 30 April) to organise and supervise the necessary developments needed at the local airfield (Innsbruck) to enable operations by a number of JV 44's Me 262 expected to transfer there in the very near future; About the Me 262 transferred to Hinnsbruck-Hotting we have some pics taken after the end of the war on the contrary of the other relocation of JV 44's Me 262 (Salzburg-Maxglam) were if I remeber well we have only two pics of white 22 damage on landing, may be because the other Me 262s one by one exploded before the surrender. As Major Hans-Ekkehard Bob recalls. "As far I can remember, about twelve aircraft arrived, one of wich landed inadvertently on the old aereodrome" My question is: if we can identified all Me 262s landed at Innsbruck-Hotting (and the only in the other)? From the sources that I have: Pictures -White 4, wn?, 2 pics Broken Eagles Me 262.-uncoded, wn 111712, 3 pics Broken Eagles, 1 pic Stormbird colors Me 262, 1 pic Battle over Bavaria. -uncoded, wn 500490, 4 pics Broken Eagles, 1 pic Verluste der deutschen Luftwaffe in Osterreich....; 1 color pic Me 262 the production log 1941-1945 -White 1s, wn?, 5 pics Broken Eagles, 3 pics Stormbird colors Me 262, 3 pics Verluste der deutschen Luftwaffe in Osterreich... -uncoded, wn 111857, 1 pic Battle over Bavaria, 2 pics Verluste der deutschen Luftwaffe in Osterreich..., 1 pic (may be) Me 262 vol II the world's first turbojet fighter. -White 12 and White1, wn?, 1 pic Verluste der deutschen Luftwaffe in Osterreich...(on E-bay the same pic more large and the 1 looks more dark than white) -White 8s, wn 111974, 1 pic Me 262 the production log 1941-1945 -uncoded, wn 1113(?)57(?), 1 pic Verluste der deutschen Luftwaffe in Osterreich... -uncoded, wn 500524, 2 pics on E-bay. other four pics of Me 262s that looks different but I have some doubt: bild 46, bild 48, bild 57, bild 58 Verluste der deutschen Luftwaffe in Osterreich... No pictures, but others found on me 262 the prodution log: -wn 170061 -wn 111751 -wn 112360 -wn 113368 -wn 113369 as we can see may be that they are more than eleven.....

And in Classic Publications' Ghost Bombers, the Moonlight War of NSG 9 - the Me 262s are in the background behind the much more important and interesting Ju 87s which also ended the war at Hötting.
