Fw. Georg Fröhlich

[vinnie]

Hello everybody,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me in what aircraft Fw. Georg Fröhlich flew. I did know that he fly 19854 (black 6) in 8./JG 1, but after the crash on 22 June 1943 he continued to fly in another aircraft. What plane was this?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, though his fatal crash in the Fw-190 was in 1944. The interesting article shows a picture of black 6 Bf-109 19854, and 8./JG 1 only flew the Me-109 throughout 1943.. I guess that we will never find out.

After his recovery from the crash on 22.6.43 he was moved as Flight Instructor to Germany. He come back to the I./J.G. 1 in autumn of 1944. He died in Fw 190 A-8, 173 928, Black 10.

Hi Kaczmarek, thanks for your reply! That was also what I could find on the web, though it seems that Fröhlich continued to fly for 8./JG 1 in the remaining period of the summer and autumn; on 17 August 1943 he shot down a B-17, and a second B-17 on 14 October 1943. In both cases he was a 8./JG 1 pilot, and not yet a flight instructor. In this period he must have used a Me-109 G-6 with a black number, but I would like to find out what plane this was. Perhaps another Me-109 was painted black 6 for Fröhlich after his crash on 22-6-1943, but I don't know...
