Luftwaffe graveyard in Bavaria.

Rebuilt by Aerocentre post-war from Fw-190A-8 c/n 730924 (left in France after the liberation) with the new c/n 62. It was later displayed marked as '7298'.

At the end of the war, this Fw-190 was under repair in France. The Cravant Fw-190 repair shop still contained enough parts for more than 70 examples to be built by SNCAC (the successor to Farman) under the designation NC 900, without taking into account the multiple sub-versions to which they belonged. Therefore, this Fw-190 A-8 was rebuilt as a NC 900 with cn 62 and with an A-7 wing. It is on display in the Hall Seconde Guerre mondiale It wears the colours of Oberst Josef Priller, Kommodore of JG 26, an ace with 101 victories, two thirds of them on the Fw-190.

This Fw from II/JG 300 'Wilde Sau', flown by Fw. Hubert Engst was part of a formation that attacked B-24 Liberators returning to Italy after a raid on the refinery at Pardubice. Engst shot down B-24H 42-52479 'Little Lulu' but miscalculated and overshot the doomed bomber allowing the nose gunner to score a direct hit. The fighter burst into flames forcing Engst to bale out before his machine crashed into a pond near the village of Otín and immediately became subsumed in 5 m of clay. In 2011 the remains were excavated and are now on display in the museum at Jindřichův Hradec.

Built for Luftwaffe in 1941/42. Captured in 1945 and rebuilt for operation by French AF as NC900A-8 No. 62. Preserved in the Musee de l'Air.

The Fw 190 has longer legs than Marlene Dietrich, so thanks to the friendly custodian for letting me use the museum's stepladder. This reconstructed aircraft bears the markings of 6./JG I, based at Salzwedel in 1944.
