In the background is Hannig's Fw 190A-4, 'Black 1', WNr. 734, showing the unit's large eagle insignia and yellow rudder. Hannig was flying this aircraft on 15 May 1943 when an RAF 'Circus' targeted Caen as a diversion for B-17s heading across the North Sea to bomb Heligoland and Emden. The 'Circus' was intercepted by I./JG2 near Caen and, in the ensuing air battle, the Gruppe claimed six victories but lost four pilots, one being Hannig who baled out wounded, but he was not seen again and, presumably, fell to his death.

Focke Wulf Fw 190A 3./JG2 (Yellow 13+) pilot Josef Heinzeller W.Nr 325 France June 16, 1942 01
On 16 June 1942, Ofw. Heinzeller became involved in an air battle with Spitfires off Portsmouth and his 'Yellow 13' was hit in the engine oil tank. Although Heinzeller succeeded in returning to his base at Triqueville, the entire content of the oil tank was pumped overboard and, by the time he landed, the fuselage was completely covered in oil. The aircraft was repaired and returned to service, subsequently being transferred to Jagdgruppe West. It was finally written off in 1944 after it was involved in a landing accident and overturned. From pre-war days Josef Heinzeller named all his aircraft after his pet dog' Schnauzl', its name and the associated emblem on the cowling being seen in these views.

Photo 02-04: This Fw 190A-2, 'Yellow 13',W Nr. 325, was flown by Ofw.Josef Heinzeller of 3/JG2 in the early Summer of 1942. All of Heinzeller's aircraft were named after his pet dog 'Schnauzl', carried the dog's name and an appropriate emblem on the engine cowling in white. Just visible is the name 'Old Shap' which was applied below the cockpit, probably in red.
