My articles about the Focke-Wulf 190 A-2 and A-3 with Jagdgeschwader 2

[Andrew Arthy]

Hi,

I noticed Jim P.'s comments in a recent thread about the lack of discussion about pilots, photo identification, and markings. I agree, it would be good to see more of these kind of discussions on 12OCH.

I was going through some articles I'd been working on a few years ago, and came across the two attached documents. They deal with Jagdgeschwader 2 FW 190 A-2s and A-3s, listing Werk Nummer and Stkz. details, markings, camouflage, losses etc. Both documents are obviously not complete, but they are a start. It was actually some J.G. 2 loss material Jim P. sent me back in 2002 that provided one of the starting points for both of these documents.

The Excel file lists ca. 180 FW 190 A-2s and A-3s operated by Jagdgeschwader 2. This file includes details on camo and markings (which is not my area of knowledge, so I've probably made some mistakes), pilots, aircraft histories, and details about sources of information for each aircraft.

The Word document lists FW 190 A-2s and A-3s coming into and out of Jagdgeschwader 2. It also includes a list of known FW 190 A-2s and A-3s operated by Jagdgeschwader 2, listed by aircraft codes, and by Werk Nummer.

I hope that these two documents are of interest, and I would really appreciate additional information to make these articles more complete. I'm sure other members of the board would have additional information about Jagdgeschwader 2 FW 190 A-2s and A-3s, for example from sources I haven't consulted like the new Prien series, Nauroth's J.G. 2 photo history, or the Eagle Editions book about Hans "Assi" Hahn.

Any additional information to make these documents more complete would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Andrew A.
