A new Ta 152 H picture

[Marc-André Haldimann]

Hi there Gang,

Beyond the blown-up wreck of Fw 190 D-9 W.Nr. 400278 "Weisse ?" of 12./JG 26, you will see the unique silhouette of a Ta 152 H wing...a new to me picture. The shot does show Fl.Lt. Jan-Adam Smigielski, 306 Sqn, who is the source for this unique picture. Any ideas about the location, any details known ?

Hello guys,
I found interesting /at least for me is new/ picture of Fw190D-9 WNr.400278. This should be a 3rd know picture of first production batch of 120 aircraft build by Arbeitsgemeinschaft Roland. source: Japo Fw190D camouflage and markings vol.II page 218.

source: http://www.ingridpit...ter-pilots.html

I would like ask, if in the background is wreck of Fw190D or Ta152H? The wing looks like is from Ta152 but engine looks like it´s from Fw190D-9 - according to L shaped coolant tank on the engine block. What do you think guys?

Here is a larger grab of the photo, but it unfortunately loses much of the sharpness and detail as a result:

The wing belonging to the wreck in the background certainly has something of the Ta152H about it...

You will have seen it probably: ex JG26. I remember Urbankes JG26 book and pictures of destroyed aircraft. Have to look further to see if I can get some more info.

Very Best regards
Philippe

Above mentioned should also exclude Ta152 , but who am I to put such a statement? I'll try to verify once at home.

Best regards
Philippe

I've checked Urbanke's excellent "Green Hearts, First in Combat with the Dora 9" [EagleEditions, 1997] but could find no mention of WNr.400278. The only WNr.400xxx series examples listed in the extensive loss are:

• WNr.400259 of 12./JG54
• WNr.400616 of 9./JG54
• WNr.400617 of ?/JG54
• WNr.400255 of 15./JG26
• WNr.400619 recorded at Lister airfield 09.08.45

I could also not find anything for WNr.400278 in either of the two superb "The Focke-Wulf Fw190 Dora" volumes by J.Crandall [EagleEditions, 2007 & 2009]. The extensive Numerical Dora Werknummer Listing with Losses in volume two includes 34 examples from WNr.400202 to WNr.400320, but nothing for WNr.400278. Jerry is a member here so I hope he sees this thread and is able to add his expert comments...

I just checked in the WNr. list contained in Larger, Deboeck and Poruba ( 2007): Fw190D, Camouflage and markings, Volume II, JaPo editions, p. 454: no mention either...

Thanks Tomas, you gave us one more Fw190D-9 )

Thank you guys, I appreciate your interest. Because I am fool, I forgot mention in 1st post, that I already checked both J.Crandall and Japo volumes on Fw190D without success. I don't own this book "Green Hearts, First in Combat with Dora 9" - so thank you for checking this source, Peter.

Sincerely indebted, Michiel.

Thanks again for your help

Just wondering if we should carefully edit posts of posts to remove all of the unnecessary blocking and formatting, i.e., #6 above, thereby preserving the look and integrity of our threads and archives.
