Re: Japanase Fw 190 A-5
Thank you for the bio. I won't bore anyone with the size and scope of intelligence gathering operations and personnel in the European Theater and the Pacific. I am not an expert in all German documents but if this is an original Focke-Wulf document, a few things to consider: A) It had to be cleared after reading and classified, B) The Germans and Japanese had a program called Yanagi where technology and goods were traded or bought by either side during the war. As far as I know, all of this was done using submarines. C) Tons of original German documents ended up in the United States. D) If this document was microfilmed and the former owner was allowed to keep it, I'd like to see the cover and any indication that it was cleared for release to this person.
I'd like to add that some German documents can be viewed by the public at archives or other designated institutions. The fact is, there are still a substantial number of German documents that remain classified to this day. Their location is not known. I have read about "private collections" but cannot verify this. Yes, original photos and documents still turn up and this may be one of them. I don't know. Ed |

Re: Japanase Fw 190 A-5
Hello everyone,
Amazing things here guys! It's great knowing that forum members are having such valuable documents on hand. Snautzer - many thanks for sharing these scans. Based on both documents there is talk about 5 airframes that were purchased. Seems that only this one arrived there. Wondering if the airframe from Mike's document is the one that arrived to Japan for sure. Also Mike - can you please confirm the above mentioned WNr.? Hope it doesn't work against your sale? Don't wanna spoil that... but would love to add that WNr to the model if it can be confirmed. Best regards, Milos |

Re: Japanase Fw 190 A-5
Thank you, Snautzer. According to the bio: "He died at his Park Avenue home in New York City on Jan. 12, 1962, at age 69." I hope some expert can confirm that such a document could be declassified by that year or before.
