JV44 Würger-Staffel is looking for a dedicated lw jagdflieger. Preferably some one who is familiar with lw plane planes and in particular AH's lw planeset.
JV44 Würger-Staffel primary ride is the Focke-Wulf 190d-9 'Dora'. But we fly all lw planes from the 109f-4 to the 190d-9.
We have recently returned to the knights. We fly in tod and are currently as a squad flying together in Big Week, an Aces High Scenario.
Currently 4 of our guys are on East Coast (US) time. However Leitwolf is from Germany.
Any one who is intertested please contact:
AGJV44
ErlKonig
Urchin
Leitwolf

A little background on the real JV44 Würger-Staffel
Jagdverband 44 Würger-Staffel 'Airfield Protection Flight' -- The Platzschutzstaffel was equipped with the long nosed Dora variant of the Fw 190, both D-9s and one very rare D-11 were used. The aircraft were painted with bright red and white striped undersurfaces to aid in recognition by weary 262 pilots returning to base, and also the anxious ground flak units. The aircraft also had unusual markings including a personal inscription on the port fuselage side.
Their mission was simple. Take off, climb to 1500 ft. Protect the jets. Land once the jets were safely away. They were forbidden to chase Allied planes.
The Me 262 was most vulnerable during takeoff and landing, more so than piston aircraft due to the greater time and distance required for the process. Marauding Allied pilots knew this and lurked around the bases in hopes of an easy kill.
Rather than depend on the High Command, Galland set about establishing his own Platzschutzstaffel (airfield defense squadron). For this he turned to the distinguished Eastern front ace, Leutnant Heinz Sachsenberg.
The JV44 Platzschutzstaffel has in recent times been referred to as the Papageien Staffel (Parrots). There is no evidence that this is based on historic fact and is likely due to the colorfully painted aircraft. According to Walter Krupinski, this staffel did occasionally use the radio call sign "Pagagei" (much like an allied flight may be called "Red" or "Baker"). To the pilots and personnel of JV44, the unit was simply known as the Würger-Staffel, literally translated Butcher-Bird Squadron. Würger was the official name given to the Focke-Wulf 190, much like Lightning was given to the P-38.
"Sachsenberg was a good pilot... We felt safer when his aircraft were in the air" Adolf Galland

Fw190 squad. Wurger=Butcherbird.
Edit, don't have umlauts on my keyboard, and I don't know the ascii combo for it. ;)

you can spell it wuerger with out the umlauts
it is Würger-Staffel but sometimes I'm a bit lazy and When setting squad up ingame umlauts dont work.
Technically its Jagdverband 44 Platzschutzstaffel but they were called the Würger-Staffel.
They were souped up 190d-9s (1 190-d11) they flew lo and protected 262's from JV44 while landing and taking off.
(http://personal.jax.bellsouth.net/jax/t/y/tyr88/fw190d9-jv44-red3-color-underside-profile.jpg)
The underside of the aircraft were painted like above so aaa crews would know them from the nme. All the pilots wer hand picked by Adolf Galland.
The unique paint job has led to some calling them the Papageien Staffel (Parrots). There is no evidence that this is based on historic fact.
Also each plane had a personal Pilot Inscription on the left side of their planes under the canopy.
anyway we are still looking.........
punt..

We only have 1 slot to fill Kieran. We are going by historical aspects for the Group. If you have any knowledge about the true JV44 Platzschutzstaffel you might understand our requirements.
-
Wasn't intended as a slam. My point does stand, however. Whatever venue people use to answer, the answers should be rolling in by now.
Guess I don't need to know the requirements for that, do I? ;)

Wotan, the D11 had 30mm + 2x20mm? the only D11 seen in action in the ww2?

one of a couple that were made, it was transferred to JV44. the D-9's they had were souped as well, they were designed for low alt performance. Only 6 pilots were in Jv44 Platzschutzstaffel but they were all hand picked.
-
that has me thinking..........
-
:) how many emails do you think i got kieran.
we dont decide on anyone in particular until they have had some interaction with the squad. Once we have someone regardless of how many replies or emails I get then i'll stop punting.
It aint a matter of oops got one an email got a squaddie.... :)
And if you think this thread being up fer 2 days is of no use fer recruiting take a look at the squad bbs and check and see how long they been kept active.......
I appreciate your concern :)
but I'll punt it 2 times day till we we decide we have what we need. :)
and btw punt :)
