Help Identify a German Tail Fin
Here's nother picture from my dad's collection.
My dad was a mechanic with RCAF 403 Squadron. The caption on the back just says "Tail Fin from German Aircraft". Can anyone identify what this fin is from? Cheers Kickinghorse |

Re: Help Identify a German Tail Fin
Tail probably belong to Fw190 D9 (Werk Nr. 210147 - Focke-Wulf, Cottbus).
Looks similar like this one: http://www.japo.eu/images/article001_083A.jpg It was from first block production Sep.-Dec.1944): http://www.japo.eu/discussion.php?f=5 This one case was very close: 24/12/44 Uffz. Hans-Georg Walter 5./JG 26 Fw 190 D-9 (210146) White 1 Combat with P-47 Near Malmédy Collegues can check who used this Werk Number on the a/c.

Re: Help Identify a German Tail Fin
This is without a doubt the tail section of a Fw 190D-9, and it is the first time that I see physical evidence of this particular W.Nr.
It was in all likelihood a I. or II./JG 26 aircraft, or a former III./JG 54 plane that was passed on to JG 26 after 25 February 1945 (until that time III./JG 54 had operated under JG 26 command). All D-9s in the series 210139 to 210160 were delivered to these Gruppen, with the single exception of W.Nr. 210145, which was a 12./JG 2 aircraft (lost on 01 January 1945 during Bodenplatte). This is a great find and I am grateful that you share this picture with us. Cheers, Marc |

Re: Help Identify a German Tail Fin
Is there evidence that this tailplane was effectively used on an active airplane? Or, if a Werknummer is visible is this automatically the proof that the piece itself was mounted on the whole airplane?
Best regards, Philippe
