Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
Gentlemen,
I refer you to Dan O'Connell's Production Log, (2005): "500100 Me 262 A-1a/U3 ... Between 09:35 and 10:00 on 1 April 1945 it was ferried by Lt. Herbert Schubert of 2./NAG 6 from Lechfeld to Unterschlauersbach. At 16:25 he left for Brandis, arriving at 17:06 where the nosegear collapsed on landing... [my emphasis] -from p. 165. On p. 57 is a picture of the port side of a "White 26" taken at Lechfeld. To my eye, the squiggle pattern just ahead of the balkenkreuz is identical to that of the Me 262 A-1/U3 with a collapsed nosegear seen in the coloured pictures on p. 63. I posit that these coloured pictures were taken at Brandis and that White 26 was indeed from 2./NAGr 6. The only document I have seen connecting aircraft of NAGr6 to III./EJG 2 at Lechfeld is a table entitled "Die folgende Tabelle die Zuteilungen und die Bestande in den Verbanden It. RL 2/III 624" found in Andreas Zapf's online work Mosquitos & Schwaben on p. 145. At the bottom of the column entitled "Aufklarer: NAGr 1 u 6" is the comment "14 Flzge zur Abgabe an III./EJG 2 befohlen". I, too, would like the Werknummer confirmed. best regards, Jim Geens |
