Really?
Not unless the werknummer Guppy listed is wrong or the list on Andrews site is wrong.
Look, It is not my intention to called his work into question. He wrote a fantastic book on FW-190 operations in North Africa IMO and I look forward to his other work.
I will point out that what I posted is referred too as a primary source. The source being used on his for the FW-190 werknummers G-3 blocks is:
[3] M. Griehl & J. Dressel, Focke-Wulf Fw 190/Ta 152 - Jäger, Jagdbomber, Panzerjäger, Motorbuch Verlag, Stuttgart, 1995
Is a called secondary source. If you bother, Wotan, to do some legwork you will find out that even since 1995 a wealth of information on this stuff has become available to researchers. Griehl and Dressel put out the most factual information available at the time. I have no doubt of that NOR am I claiming it is incorrect.
I will say that I just spent the last few days in an archive that has literally thousands of just FW documents that have yet to be cataloged. While I conducted research the man who ran it classified 15 new documents today alone. That does not include the tens of thousands of both German and Japanese technical documents that wait cataloging.
So if we assume that NO FW-190A5/U13's served in Sicily then the werknummer listing is wrong.
If we assume the werknummer listing is correct, then without a doubt at least one FW-190A5/U13 was present.
When in doubt refers to primary sources.
Simply provide a link to this thread. He can view the documents. I would love to correspond with him about any FW-190 subject. I am sure it would be beneficial to both.
