Focke Wulf Ta-154 TQ-XC
I did not know a second TA-154 was captured intact after the war.
Does anyone know what variant this 154 is. In Phil Bulter's Captured Axis Plane book it mentions a TA-154 being reported in paperwork as being shipped to the USA. Could it have been this one? Found image on a Czech modeling forum site |

Re: Focke Wulf Ta-154 TQ-XC
This is V23 was an unarmed test vehicle with a Jumo-213-A engine. In addition to the first flight on July 14, 1944, three flights are known (August 5, 12 and 17, 1944). The machine was then transferred to Detmold and converted for night hunting at NJG 3. [44]
Does this show the extended fuselage plug that was required to accommodate the Jumo 213 engine? |

Re: Focke Wulf Ta-154 TQ-XC
The British acquired three examples.
"Because of British interest in the structural techniques employed in the Ta 154 design, it had appeared in the Category One Requirements List, and three dismantled aircraft were selected to be shipped to the RAE. These aircraft were found at the Luftpark (Storage Depot) at Padeborn, by No. 2002 ADW. At least one arrived at Farnborough, where it was the subject of an engineering investigation, resulting in the issue of Report EA 262/1. It is possible that one or more received an untraced 'Air Min' number." Page 58 of War Prizes by Phil Butler. |

For what it's worth, this is the issue of Fluzeug Classic that deals with some myths about the aircraft.

Re: Focke Wulf Ta-154 TQ-XC
joebaugher.com lists one example that apparently received no FE (Foreign Equipment) or T-2 number. It ended up at Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio.
"Captured in damaged condition at Lage, Germany, by the 54th Air Disarmament Squadron." |

Did you realize that Post #2 includes this photo and additional photos (in a larger format) of the same machine? |
