JV 44 and sister units
« on: November 25, 2007, 09:01:11 AM »
Hello gents,

I am currently working on a piece of art which hopes to depict a scene including the 262 unit JV 44, the Fw 190 D9 unit bearing the red and white underside assigned to JV 44 for landing/take off protection and any Bf 109 units also operating from the same airfield at the time.

As the 262 unit and the Fw 190 unit are well documented and accessible I shouldn't need any more information on them. If anyone could shed any light on the Bf 109 units that were known to operating beside them (simply operating from the same airfield will suffice) at the time I would be greatly appreciative, as I hope to keep this piece as historically accurate as possible and would like to include an accurate representation of each of the three aircraft, the Me 262, Fw 190 and Bf 109.

Come to think of it, any other Fw 190 units (including A and F models) operating from the same field would be of interest also.

Again, if anyone could shed any information (links, images, book titles or scans) I would be most grateful.

Many thanks.

Regards,

Archaius.

This is the sort of thing I'm referring to.

This photo is described as Ainring Airfield.

Do you have the Shiffer books JV44 history?  Lots of photos in there. I'll look when I get home from work later tonite.

I haven't got that one, cheers for suggesting it. Unless you can find anything in your copy I'll look into adding it to my collection.

Thanks for taking the time to respond
