Fw. Friedrich-Karl Frank looking for info and pictures

[moeggo]

Hi, I looking for any info on Fw. Friedrich-Karl Frank (JG 4) and any pictures of him for assignment I'm doing.

The little info I do know is that was shot down during Allied bombing raids on 11/9/1944 over Kovarska, Czechoslovakia and that he bailed out and survived. But died on 2nd November 1944 while take-off accident on his base Welzow.

any help will be greatful!

Cheers

All I have is some basic details for the two days you mention 1. 11-9-44 Fw. Frank baled out wounded from Fw 190 A8 681323 yellow 8 of 7/JG 4 at Weipert (JG 4 losing 31 pilots killed/wounded this day ) 2. FjFw Frank killed in '' Zusammenstoss Start '' on 2-11-44 at Welzow while flying Fw 190 A8 682206 yellow 7 of 7/JG 4. This was another bad day for JG 4 losing 21 pilots killed/wounded , a Bf 109 of 2 staffel is shown as ''Zusammenstoss in der Luft'' with pilot wounded, it does not indicate if this was linked to Frank's collision,
