Focke Wulf Fw-189A Owl NJG100.1 (W7+_B) with FuG 212 radar 01 Photo 01: One of the more unusual types provisionally employed in the night fighter role by NJG100 on the Eastern Front was this Fw-189A. This machine was fitted with FuG 212 radar and a single, obliquely mounted MG 151 in the rear of the cockpit and which may be seen protruding from the canopy. Up to six Fw 189s were employed by I./NJG100 between March and December 1944, while 11. Gruppe had a similar number but only used them up to October. Although the operational code cannot be seen on the aircraft shown here, known codes are W7+CB, +DB, +EB, +MB, +NL and W7+WM, most of these being Fw 189 A-4s with a 20 mm MG FF cannon in each wing root in addition to the oblique MG 151. On this aircraft, the standard factory 70/71 uppersurface scheme has been modified with an overspray of 76 mottles.
