Successful Fw 190D9 and Ta 152 pilots.
I was wondering if anyone had a list or further information about successful pilots who flew the Fw 190D9 and the Ta 152. I know Dortenmann had the most claims with the Fw 190 D9, but I was wondering if there was further information on other pilots. Thank you.

some info here, most of which ended up on Wikipedia ..
http://falkeeins.blogspot.com/2010/0...2-reschke.html Walter Loos' Ta 152 "claims" were expressly denied by Loos himself in an unpublished interview given to Jean-Yves Lorant in the late 70's |

Do you know which Ta 152 pilots shot down 5 or so victories, and other than Dortenmann, any other successful 190d9 pilots?

Re: Successful Fw 190D9 and Ta 152 pilots.
there were no Ta 152 pilots with '5 or so victories'. IV./JG 51 Heinz Marquardt had a similar victory total to Dortenmann on the Dora. Some sources give Kommandeur IV./JG 51 Oblt. Guenther Josten seven vics on one sortie at the controls of a Dora...

Thank you for the information. I also thought Keil had 5 victories with the 152?

Hi,
Oberleutnant Günther Josten is said to have claimed seven aerial victories on 25 April 1945 while flying with the Stab of IV./J.G. 51. The source for this is Ernst Obermaier. These were his 172nd to 178th claims. Cheers, Andrew A. Air War Publications - www.airwarpublications.com |

Thanks Andrew - I knew I'd read that somewhere..
Keil gives an account in Jean-Yves Lorant's old Docavia book 'Le Fw 190' - in it he talks of 'probable' victories. |
