Focke-Wulf Fw 190A

Designed by Kurt Tank, the Fw-190A was first flown on June 1st, 1939. This small, yet ferociously-powered aircraft was fast and maneuverable and packed a fierce armament package earning it the nickname "Butcher Bird". The wide landing gear, excellent visibility and high-altitude paddle-bladed propeller endeared it to pilots familiar with the shortcomings of its predecessor - the Messerschmitt Bf 109. Some of the Luftwaffe's most famous fighter aces flew the Fw 190. Many variants were produced during the war, with the most notable being the inline-engine equipped and longer-nosed 190D, known as the "Dora."

Indicative of the spring thaw period, II. Gruppe removed large areas of winter white to reveal the two tone green beneath. They sometimes added an extra refinement, however, by applying patches of black to break up the aircraft's outline even further. Heinrich Sterr, who like Robert Weiss, rejoiced in his nickname "Bazi," a Bavarian and Austrian colloquialism for "Rascal". had joined II./JG 54 in 1942. He scored 127 kills in the east - most of them on Fw 190s - before transferring to IV. Gruppe and Defence of the 4th Reich duties in late 1944. He was downed by a P-51 on November 26, 1944 while attempting to land at Vorden.
