Profile: A German fighter pilot of Austrian decent and a native of Gmünd situated near the border with Czechoslovakia, Walter 'Nowi' Nowotny was a holder of the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds, and shot down 258 enemy aircraft over the course of 442 combat sorties. He was killed in an Me 262 Schwalbe in combat with American escort fighters near an airfield at Hesepe on November 8th, 1944. ”Nowi’s“ aircraft got a non-standard camouflage consisting of two shades of dark green, most likely RLM 70 and its combination with another colour. The yellow wingtips of the undersides and yellow band round the fuselage identified the aircraft flying in the Eastern Front. The JG 54 aircraft bore yellow band on the fuselage, underneath the fuselage crosses, and bottom part of the rudder was painted yellow as well. The front part of the propeller spinner bore, most likely, yellow spiral. Underneath the cockpit there was a personal symbol of the pilot.

Green camouflaged Focke-Wulf marked White '4', with a rendering of a goat and inscription 'Rammock', was flown by Walter Nowotny, CO of 1. Staffel I./JG 54, holder of the Knight's Cross, in the summer of 1943. At that time, the 23-year-old 'Nowi', born in the Czech-Austrian border region, was one of the most significant personnel of JG 54 on the Eastern Front specifically, and the Luftwaffe in general. He died on November 8th, 1944, as the CO of the first German unit equipped with the jet powered Me 262. Up to the time of his death, he was credited with 258 aerial victories, the vast majority of which were achieved on the Eastern Front in the ranks of JG 54. The camouflage of the illustrated aircraft consisted of two closely toned unspecified greens, one of which was probably RLM 70, and the other mixed from that. These shades were sprayed in irregular fields over the original RLM 74/75/76, which was visible in places through the newer application, and the lower colors remained unchanged, extending up the sides of the fuselage. The widely applied yellow recognition markings, typical for the time and area of ops, was indicative of the need for the Luftwaffe to differentiate their aircraft from those of the similarly painted enemy. The inscription 'Rammbock' on the left side of the fuselage under the cockpit, needs to be translated more along the lines of the local culture rather than literally, and in this case that would be as a 'virile ram'. The wing armament of this aircraft consisted of only two MG 151/20 cannon, with the outboard MG/FF cannon positions being faired over.

Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-6, 1./JG 54, Russia, Summer, 1943

The uniquely painted White '5' of 1st Staffel, JG 54 is attributed to being flown by Walter Nowotny, which he did actually fly, but in all probability was not a personal aircraft of his. The aircraft is interesting first and foremost by its camouflage scheme, as it appeared at a time when the Fw 190s of JG 54 were painted in the original factory scheme of RLM 74/75/76 in combination with the yellow identification markings used on the Eastern Front. The light coloring of the fuselage was darkened with a spray of green, likely RLM 70. Also nonstandard was the width of the segments of the upper wing crosses. As noted earlier, Walter Nowotny was one of the more interesting of personnel to serve with JG 54. Initially, he flew Bf 109s, and switched over to the Fw 190 when the unit reequipped with this type. The bulk of his victories were gained on the Focke-Wulf, often through extraordinary circumstances. For example, there were nine kills credited to him on August 13th, 1943, and even ten gained on September 1st, 1943 (five which were flamed within a span of twelve minutes). On October 14th, 1943, he became the first German fighter pilot to cross the 250 victory mark. After receiving diamonds to go with his Knight's Cross and Oak Cluster with Swords, he was called back from his CO of I./JG 54 posting and utilized in a propaganda role, that really did not sit well with a combat fighter pilot and natural hunter. On April 1st, 1944, he was assigned to command the training unit JG 101, and in September, 1944 to the command of Kommando Nowotny, equipped with the Me 262. This unit was activated to develop tactics for jet fighters to combat allied aircraft, and for Nowotny, became his last military, and life's, function.....

This kit offers the markings for two aircraft flown by Hans Dortenmann. This Fw 190 was painted with washable white paint during the winter of 1943-1944 over the original RLM 74/75/76, partially visible. In this aircraft, Dortenmann gained his first unorthodox confirmed kill, after colliding with a Soviet fighter at low altitude, likely piloted by Capt. Ivan M. Astakov of the 40th IAP, who did not survive the collision. This 'no-fault' collision was credited to Astakov as a taran and as one of his twelve victories, and pushing him towards a posthumous awarding of the Hero of the Soviet Union. In the collision, Dortenmann lost much of his left wing. Despite that, he was able to belly in at Orscha Süd. Before being transferred to the Western Front in the summer of 1944, he would shoot down a further 14 Soviet aircraft, including four Il-2s Sturmoviks.

This aircraft carries a winter whitewash over the standard camouflage, which is evident in random areas where the water soluble paint has washed off. It was with this aircraft that Dortenmann bellied in at Orsha-Süd Air base on the 6th of February, 1944, after losing three feet off his port wing in a collision with a Soviet fighter. In a rear hemisphere attack against his target, and at a height of some 200m, he misjudged his distance. His intended target was probably a fighter flown by Capt Ivan Mikhailovich Astakhov of 49 IAP. Having been killed in this encounter, the collision with Black "7" was classified as a "taran" attack and considered Astakhov's twelfth victory (another seven being shared). He was awarded a posthumous Hero of the Soviet Union. It was Dortenmann's first confirmed victory. Prior to his transfer to the west, he shot down a further fourteen Soviet aircraft, including four Il-2 Sturmoviks. He totaled 38 kills, and was awarded the Iron Cross. Another one of Dortenmann's mounts, this time from theWestern Front, can be found as a subject in our Fw190A-8 kit.

Email from Rick Foort Everett, WA Sep-13-2012

    I thought you might be interested in seeing what this aircraft looks like today, and in FLYING CONDITION! It is owned by former Microsoft Co-founder Paul Allen, and is kept at Paine Field, Everett, WA at the Flying Heritage Collection.
  • You can see it at this website: www.flyingheritage.com
  • I am a docent there, and frequently describe this aircraft to astonished visitors.

Place in history: The Focke-Wulf 190 was the most advanced radial engine fighter in the world when it entered combat.

Its appearance in the fall of 1941 was a rude awakening for Allied designers and pilots. The new German plane was an ideal dogfighter—fast, light, and small. It was more than a match for contemporary versions of the British Spitfire. The Focke-Wulf 190 was also heavily-armed and immensely strong, giving it the ability to fly in ground attack roles as well.

Forever compared to the Messerschmitt Bf 109, many German fighter pilots considered the Fw 190 the better plane at medium to low altitudes. Later in the war, improved versions of the Focke-Wulf fighter were designed to perform at heights above 20,000 feet.

This airplane: This Fw 190 was built in 1943 and factory-modified for ground attack duties. Fighting on the Eastern Front, the aircraft was assigned to Jagdgeschwader (fighter wing) 54 near Leningrad. On July 9, 1943, while attacking a Soviet supply train, the plane crashed. The pilot became a prisoner in Russia, but his plane remained untouched and hidden by acres of impassable wetland and a growing forest of young saplings.

The amazingly intact plane was discovered by a warbird hunter in the late 1980s and was carefully dismantled and airlifted with a helicopter. In England and later in the U.S., the fighter underwent an extensive restoration process. Today, the plane is the only original flyable Focke-Wulf 190A fighter to take to the skies with a genuine BMW 801 engine.

Fact: The Germans called the Fw 190 Würger or "Butcher Bird."

It is a Focke Wulf FW-190A5/U3 Würger WWII Luftwaffe aircraft of 4./JG54. The pilot Feldwebel Paul Rätz listed as MIA - Missing In Action. This aircraft was manufactured in April 1943, originally as an A5 variant and supplied with serial number 0151227 by the parent factory of Focke Wulf Flugzeugbau GmbH at Bremen.

On Monday 19th July 1943, probably a hot summer day, the Focke Wulf FW-190A5/U3 Würger with s/n 1227 "White A" took off on a mission carrying a SC250 550Ibs bomb. Taking off from Siwerskaja, the "White A" headed for the front line which was only fifteen or so minutes flight time away. Crossing the front line over the Dvina river, the FW-190, crossed it and headed East. Whilst behind enemy lines, in an area called Voibakala, the "Rotte" attacked an armoured train and reportedly suffered damage from FlaK. The loss report indicates the FW-190 crash landed due to this damage, although none was located on the airframe. It FW-190 suffered a catastrophic failure of the BMW 801 engine, caused by a rag sabotage is suspected as it was a new engine was fitted a few days before. The FW-190 was recorded as being 100% lost in the map reference co-ordinates of Pl.Qu.20124. This grid system based on 1/200,000 maps was used to identify crash sites, possibly for salvage, recovery of missing pilots or as the best way of identifying an area consisting of unpronounceable Russian towns, villages and large areas of forests and lakes. The more numbers the Pl.Qu. reference gives, the smaller the area of the location. A key to this code, would help identify literally dozens of possible recoveries within Russia! The pilot Feldwebel Paul Rätz survived the crash landed behind enemy lines. He removed his leather flying helmet but took the airplane's panel clock with him. He retrieved the first air kit from the rear fuselage and is thought to have headed West back to the front line only a dozen or so miles from the crash site. He was undoubtedly captured by the Russians and interned although the Luftwaffe reported him as 'Vermißt' (MIA - Missing In Action). The pilot remained imprisoned in Russia for 16 years before finally returning to Germany. Rätz died in 1989, never having learned that his airplane had been recovered. But his family did and, it turns out, they still have the clock. The FW-190 found in silver birch forest in 1989 and recovered in 1991.

Owners = Doug/David Arnold and later (till today) Paul Allen of Microsoft fame. The restoration revealed that this FW-190 most likely crashed from engine sabotage. The engine was newly installed and the oil lines were found to be blocked. The engine factories often used prisoner labor, so sabotage sometimes happened. The restoration is completed, including a new wing spar to replace the cracked original. A partial restoration was started in the early 1990ies, then it was sold to the Flying Heritage Collection. Much of the restoration was competed in the UK and the aircraft is now in the US.

From July 1943 to February 1944, this Staffel operated as fighter-bombers on the Northern Sector of the Eastern Front under the command of IV./JG54, and during that period the Staffel's aircraft were marked with letters instead of the usual numerals, perhaps because of their ground-attack role, adopting the system of identification then in use by the Schlachtflieger. This particular aircraft, 'White K', is an Fw 190A-5.

Focke-Wulf Fw 190A5 4./JG54 White K Orel Soviet Russia 1943

Profile: The aircraft is pictured with a camouflage of I./JG 54 where it served as a fighter-bomber for attacks on ground targets. As part of the fighter plane wings there were Staffels that took over the role of Jabo (Jagdbomber) as their priority. As an example could serve parts of I./JG 54 at the turn of summer and autumn of 1943; the indicative of this is change of marking of the aircraft from number to letter call sign. The white colour of the letter “K“ should stand for the aircraft being part of the 1. Staffel ranks. The camouflage was composed of two shades of green applied on top surfaces of the planes covering the original camouflage paint with RLM 74/75/76 colours. The green camouflage is dominated by RLM 70 paint, which adds a compact and very dark final coat. Yellow complements in a form of yellow stripe on the fuselage and bottom parts of the ends of wings were applied to aircraft serving in Eastern Front.

Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-5, I./JG 54 (Jabo), Soviet Union, Summer, 1943

This aircraft is shown as it appeared during service with I./JG 54 as a fighter-bomber and used mainly in attacking ground targets. In this way, fighter units often supported ground units as the opportunity arose. Less often did the role of the Jabo (Jagd-Bomber) see ground attack become the main role within the fighter units. Some examples could be taken from elements of I./JG 54 as summer turned to fall in 1943, as indicated by the switch from a number code to a letter one. The white color of the 'K' should place the aircraft within the 1st Staffel. The camouflage consisted of, as with the first two offered choices, two greens applied over the original RLM 74/75/76. Of the green-green scheme, RLM 70 is more prevalent, which gives a final look of almost a monotone, dark green. Fairly uncommon for the given time frame, the spinner has a white spiral applied to it. Also worth noting is the extension of the undercowling yellow to the oil cooler and oil tank. Non standard are also the crosses on the fuselage and wing undersides that lacked the black outline. These appear to have been applied fresh over the new green scheme.

Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-5, Oblt. Max Stotz, 5./JG 54, Russia, Spring, 1943

The aircraft depicted here is dated from the winter to summer time frame, 1943, when the Fw 190s of JG 54 went through frequent camouflage scheme modifications that bore little resemblance to the prescribed instructions. Black '5', flown by Oblt. Max Stotz, is camouflaged in a similar way to that of Fw 190A-5 'Rammbock' (Scheme 'A'), consisting of two similar greens, applied over the original scheme of RLM 74/75/76. In this case, this did not include the area of the Swastika or the W.Nr. at the tip of the fin. A large unknown remains the application of the JG 54 emblem and its II. Gruppe on the front fuselage. Although these are represented in most previous reconstructions, it must be noted that their exact rendering on this bird could not be based on any serious documentation. They could not be backed by photographic resources, nor on any other II./JG 54 aircraft of the same time. That opens up to the possibility that these were not even carried. If they were in fact applied, then the heart emblem would have been carried on both sides under the cockpit, same as the II./JG 54 marking on both sides of the nose. The 'Aspern Lion' - emblem of II./JG 54, would also have been applied such that it was always facing forward. Although the evidence on the use of the emblem is lacking, we have included it on the decal sheet. For its application on the model, please refer to the reference drawing on this page for an alternative appearance of the nose of the aircraft. The pilot of this aircraft, Oblt. Max Stotz, was credited with 189 kills over the course of over 700 combat flights, and was awarded the Knight's Cross with Oak Cluster. He is still listed as MIA after combat in the area of Vitebsk in the Soviet Union on August 19, 1943.

Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-5 Lt. Emil Lang, 5./JG 54, Eastern front, Summer, 1943

Over the course of more than 400 combat sorties, Lt. Emil 'Bully' Lang accumulated 173 aerial victories, 144 of which were gained on the Eastern Front. A former athlete and Lufthansa pilot, he showed himself to be a true expert in aerial combat. Luck had forsaken him on September 3rd, 1944, during an engagement with RAF Spitfires over Belgium. At that time, he wasCOof II./JG 26, and carried the Knight's Cross. He flew the illustrated Fw190A-5 as Staffelkapitan of 5./JG 54. The camouflage scheme is as it appeared during the summer of 1943, when sand tone patterns were sprayed over the original two-tone green. The intent was to break up the shape defined by the greens, and blend in more with the dry Russian countryside. In the summer of 1943, in accordance with orders from higher up the hierarchy, unit markings were oversprayed. Nevertheless, the green heart shape was still recognizable on the aircraft of JG54

Emil ”Bully“ Lang, the bearer of the Knight‘s Cross awards, managed to shoot down 173 enemy aircraft over the course of more than 400 combat flights; 144 of these took place in the Eastern Front. This former athlete and Lufthansa pilot proved to be a real expert in combat flights. His immense success rate could nicely be illustrated with a shot down of 72 enemy aircraft within three weeks of December 1943. At that time he was 34 and ranked among the oldest Luftwaffe pilots. His lucky days ended on September 3rd, 1944. He then was a commander of II./JG 26 and in a cockpit of Fw 190A-8 he was shot down in combat with Spitfires Mk. XII of No. 41 Squadron RAF above Belgian territory. He lost combat to F/Lt. Terry Spencer. The pictured Fw 190A-5 was flown by Lt. Lang when he served as a commander of 5./JG 54. The camouflage of the aircraft was composed of three colours, two shades of green and sand colour; the same applied to all other aircraft of Jagdgeschwader 54.

Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-6 5./JG 54 (B12+-) W. Nr. 550889 Uffz. Heribert Koller Immola Finland June 1944

An interesting variation on the camouflage scheme consisting of RLM 74/75/76 is carried by this aircraft, which was flown by Uffz. Heribert Koller with 5./JG 54 in the summer of 1944. This Luftwaffe veteran accumulated 49 confirmed kills over the span of over 350 combat sorties. Thirteen of these came between May and June 1944 in the illustrated plane. Black '12' was lost on June 18th, 1944 during a ferry flight from Immola to the base at Petseri in Estonia. During the flight, Koller stumbled upon a lone Il-2, attacking a tanker in the Gulf of Finland, and managed to shoot it down. However, being on a solo flight, there was no way of confirming the kill (and he shot down a Yak-9 in the same cockpit the day previous). Over the remainder of the flight, he encountered inclement weather, with the ceiling dropping down to ground level at times. On his approach to Malmi, at Helsinki, where he was to have a restover, the visibility was so bad, he almost plowed into a cliff, and subsequently, he clipped the top of a tree. After gaining enough altitude, he bailed out of the damaged aircraft and came down by parachute. Black '12' crashed only a couple of hundred meters from the airfield. The remains of the aircraft were recovered in 2006. The fuselage of the aircraft was significantly darkened, probably by way of a thin, lightly transparent spray of RLM 74. This included the inside of the fuselage crosses, although in a deeper application. The white spinner had a black spiral. One interesting aspect of the camouflage is the atypical placement of the upper wing colors (seen on some Fw 190s built at AGO Oschersleben), where the wings are painted in mirror image to each other. Damage to the right side of the fuselage was caused by carelessness of the groundcrew during fueling.

Fw 190A-8, 9./JG 54, Villacoublay, France, Summer, 1944 War weary but striking, Yellow '2' of 9. Staffel/JG 54 hails from the days of combat against the Americans within the Defense of the Reich in the summer of 1944. The camouflage of RLM 74/75/76 and the spiral on the spinner all correspond to Luftwaffe standards. The blue rear fuselage band identifies service with JG 54 in the Defense of the Reich system, and the 9. Staffel by the yellow Gruppe marking and fuselage number. The fuselage crosses had their inside sprayed RLM 74. The marking of III./JG 54 was found on both sides of the fuselage. III./JG 54 operated on the Western Front from French and German airfields after being reassigned from Smolensk in February, 1943. The unit's pilots protected defeated territory from allied fighter sweeps and bombing attacks. During May and June, 1944, the unit turned in their Bf 109s for Fw 190s, which they used in the Luftwaffe's and Wehrmacht's attempts to stem the tide of the allied invasion of Normandy. Later, III./JG 54 was tasked with the priority of defending against attacks of the USAAF, usually in combat against allied escort fighters. The unit's attack against American bomber formations are also not to be forgotten.

Focke-Wulf Fw 190A8 9./JG54 (Yellow 2+I) Villacoublay France 1944

Profile: In February 1943, after its transfer from Smolensk, the III./JG 54 started to operate in the Western Front. Their airfields were located in France and Germany. Their pilots defended the seized territory from sweeps and bombing raids of the Allied forces. During the course of May and June 1944, the wing switched from Bf 109 to Fw 190, which was supposed to support the effort of Luftwaffe and Wehrmacht to stop the progress of Allies after their invasion in Normandy. Rundown by war, but still very colourful “Yellow 2“ from 9. Staffel/JG 54 represents the period of fights with the Allied forces in summer 1944. The RLM 74/75/76 camouflage, as well as the spiral on the propeller spinner, corresponds to the colour standards of Luftwaffe fighter aircraft. The blue stripe at the end of the fuselage marks the JG 54; this marking symbolized the planes, which were part of Defence of the Reich. The yellow Gruppe marking and fuselage number symbolize its affinity to the 9. Staffel. The fuselage cross core is painted in RLM 74. The sign of the III./JG 54 was located on both sides of the fuselage.

Profile - 00: Focke Wulf Fw 190A.5 'Black 4' of 10.(Jabo)/JG54, France, early 1943. Finished in a high demarcation scheme of RLM 74 and 75 over RLM 76 undersurfaces with minimal fuselage mottling, this aircraft is typical of the Focke-Wulf fighter-bombers operated by this unit in early 1943. All aircraft of theStaffelseem to have had the chevron behind the Balkenkreuz which, together with the stylised black and white bomb, characterised the aircraft of this unit in much the same way as the more extensively used black triangle characterised the Schlachtgruppen. Note that the outer wing cannon have been removed.

Photo's 01-2: The Fw 190 was considered better suited than the Bf-109F for fighter-bomber work because of its good speed and manoeuvrability at low altitudes and the fact that its air-cooled engine made it less sensitive to hits. Although the bomb racks were easily detachable for operations in the purely fighter role, they were not always removed in practice as their effect on performance was not very great. The 250 kg bomb, on the other hand, considerably affected manoeuvrability and reduced speed at ground level by some 30-35 mph.These photographs show 'Black 4' of 10.(Jabo)/JG54, which officially came into existence on 17 February 1943 when 10.(Jabo)/JG26 was redesignated.

The 10.(Jabo)/JG26 originally used white identification numbers on its Bf-109Fs but changed them to black after converting to the Fw 190 in mid-1942.

At about the sametime, a new III/JG54 was formed at Grossenhain from the Zerstorer unit II./ZG76. This aircraft became 10./JG54 (previously 5./ZG 76) and was damaged by gunfire when it had to make a forced landing.

Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-8, Lt. Hans Dortenmann, 2./JG 54, Villacoublay, France, June, 1944

The second of Hans Dortenmann's aircraft to be offered in this kit is one used in the Defense of the Reich (Reichsverteidigung). With the illustrated Red '1', Dortenmann flew as CO of 2. Staffel, temporarily subordinate to III. Gruppe, in France during the summer of 1944. At the end of the war, the twenty-three year old pilot and holder of the Knight's Cross had 38 kills under his belt, which he gained during the very short span of just fourteen months. During his combat career, he fought against the Soviets, British and Americans. This aircraft carries a standard scheme consisting of RLM 74/75/76 with a white spiral on the spinner. It also carries the markings of the Defense of the Reich (a blue band for JG 54), and a red vertical band on the rear fuselage denoting service with III. Gruppe. The red color means 2. (or 10.) Staffel, and the number 1 belongs to the Staffel CO. The inscription 'Hascherl 1' under the cockpit was only carried on the left, and together with the devil insignia on the engine cowl are personal markings of the pilot. Whether or not the devil was on both sides has not been identified in photographs, but it is possible. The unit marking for III. Gruppe JG 54 was applied to both sides of the Fw 190A-8. The simplified later variation on the fuselage cross was in this case with a black interior.

Focke-Wulf Fw 190A9 13./JG 54 (White 7+~) W.Nr. 750114 Germany late 1944 early 1945

This aircraft was captured by the Allies sometime in late 1944 or early 1945. The IVth Gruppe, JG 54, flew from Vörden, the Netherlands and Gardelegen, Germany. This A-9 was built at the Mimetall factory in August / September, 1944 and wore RLM 75/74 or RLM 75/83 on the upper surfaces, in all probability. The blue tail band was typical for JG 54 aircraft, and the white wavy line identified aircaft of the IVth Gruppe.

Tento stroj padl do spojeneckých rukou již na pøelomu let 1944/45, kdy IV. Gruppe JG 54 pùsobila z letiš Vörden (Nizozemí) a Gardelegen (Nìmecko). Jedná se o stroj z produkce firmy Mimetall, který byl vyroben v srpnu/záøí 1944 a je pravdìpodobné, že nesl na horních plochách kamufláž v barvách RLM 75/74 nebo RLM 75/83. Modrý pruh okolo zádì byl typický pro letouny JG 54, bílá vlnovka pak pro stroje ze IV. Gruppe této jednotky.

Focke Wulf Fw 190A-8 13./JG54 (White 12+~) Villacoublay France May 1944.

Fw 190A-8, 13./JG 54, Villacoublay, France, 1944-45. The camouflage scheme and the rendering of the national insignia, documented on the later A-8 variant, apply to this aircraft of IV.Gruppe JG 54. The wavy demarcation between the RLM 76 color from those of the darker shades on the upper surfaces (RLM 74/75) is located fairly high up and gives the aircraft a decidedly light appearance. The national insignia are the simplest version of the later cross type. JG 54 service is indicated only by the blue fuselage band, which adorned the aircraft of the units within the Defense of the Reich system. The white wave marking then indicates the IV. Gruppe and the white number the 13. Staffel. IV. Gruppe JG 54 flew from air fields in Eastern Prussia and later, from September 1944, in Germany. At this time, the unit was commanded by Maj. Wolfgang Späte (Knight's Cross with Oak Cluster, 99 kills, best known for his service with JG 400 equipped with the Me 163 rocket fighter), who was replaced in October, 1944, by Hptm. Rudolf Klemm (Knight's Cross, 42 kills). IV. Gruppe was the only component of JG 54 that, after re-equipping with the Fw 190, exclusively flew the 'A' variant up to the end of the war.

Profile: Focke-Wulf-Fw 190A8 14./JG 54 Black 11+~ Mörtitz Germany November 1944. 14. Staffel JG 54 was established in August 1944 on the basis of 11. Staffel of the same squadron. During the military operation Market Garden, the whole of the IV. Gruppe, the 14. Staffel was part of this squadron, was sent to combat and there it was decimated. Its residuals were then sent to the German base in Mörtitz where the fleet was restored. On November 21st, 1944 the fleet was transferred to the Vörden base where it further served as the German Empire defence unit. This Gruppe later supported the German counter-offensive in Ardennes and that not only in a role of fighter plane squadron, but also in a role of fighter-bombers supporting the ground tank storm troops. The Fw 190A-8, painted in a standard camouflage, bears the symbol of the IV. Gruppe underneath the cockpit – green heart and coat of arms of the City of Königsberg (the name of the city stayed till July 4th, 1946, later the city was renamed to Kaliningrad). The marking of the aircraft is complemented by blue stripe on the tail of the aircraft; this marking of the aircraft, belonging to JG 54, symbolized the planes, which were part of Defence of the Reich. The aircraft also bears the sign of black wave line lined with white colour. The wave line marked the aircraft belonging to IV. Gruppe of the Geschwader.

Hans Dortenmann

Hans Dortenmann was born on 11 December 1921 at Weingarten in the Wurttemberg region. He was serving in the army as an infantryman in April 1941 but transferred to the Luftwaffe and underwent flying training. Dortenmann was posted to JG54 on the Eastern front on completion of his flying training. Leutnant Dortenmann was assigned to 2./JG54. He gained his first victory on 6 February 1944, when he rammed a Russian La-5 fighter. Dortenmann's Fw 190 A-6 "Black 7" sustained damage to its left wing but he managed to fly back to Orscha-South airfield where he successfully belly-landed. He flew this day as wingmann to Ulrich Wohnert (86 victories, RK) who would confirm Dortenmann's first victory. On 10 June, 2./JG54 was withdrawn from the Eastern front and relocated to Western front to join III./JG54. Dortenmann had accumulated 14 (15) victories in the time he had operated over the Eastern front. On 20 June 1944, Dortenmann was appointed Staffelkapitan of 2./JG54, which on 10 August became 12./JG54.

Dortenmann was shot down near Paris on 26 June in Fw 190 A-8 "Red 1" but managed to bale out. Over the Invasion front, Dortenmann claimed six Allied fighters shot down. In mid-August, III./JG54 was withdrawn to Germany to refit. In late September the Gruppe received its first Fw 190 D-9 fighters, becoming operational on 12 October when after only a few weeks of training, at the request of Major Walter Nowotny (258 victories, RK-Br, killed in action 8 November 1944), 9./JG54 under Oberleutnant Wilhelm Heilmann (34 victories) went to Hesepe and 12./JG54 under Leutnant Dortenmann went to Achmer to fly airfield protection for the Me 262 jet fighters of Kommando Nowotny, remaining there until 25 December. On 25 December, III./JG54 was placed under the operation control of Major Karl Borris (43 victories, RK) of I./JG26 for Operation Bodenplatte. On 29 December, Dortenmann shot down a RAF Spitfire in the Munster area on a day that III./JG54 lost its Gruppenkommandeur Hauptmann Robert Weiss (121 victories, RK-EL) in addition to 12 other pilots in combat with Spitfires and Typhoons. Dortenmann was named acting Gruppenkommandeur of III./JG54 on 30 December and remained in this role until 11 February 1945.

On 1 January 1945, Dortenmann led III./JG54 on Operation Bodenplatte against Brussels-Grimbergen airfield, from which 12 of its 17 pilots that flew the mission failed to return. 12./JG54 was disbanded on 19 February 1945 with its pilots being distributed throughout the rest of III./JG54 and Dortenmann taking command of 11./JG54. On 25 February, III./JG54 was absorbed into JG26 with Dortenmann's 11./JG54 becoming 14./JG26. On 29 March 1945, Oberleutnant Dortenmann was appointed Staffelkapitan of 3./JG26. He was awarded the Ritterkreuz on 20 April for 35 victories. During this period he flew 28 ground-attack missions claiming a transport glider, two aircraft, one tank car, seven trucks, three armoured infantry vehicles and an anti-aircraft position destroyed. Dortenmann flew his last combat mission of the war on 27 April and shot down a Russian Yak-3 over Berlin. Hans Dortenmann survived the war but died on 1 April 1973.

In 150 combat missions, Hans Dortenmann was credited with 38 victories. He gained 16 victories over the Eastern front and 22 over the Western front, including one four-engine bomber and six Mustangs. He recorded 18 victories with Fw 190 D-9 (W.Nr. 210 003) making him the most successful fighter pilot with this type.

Otto 'Bruno' Kittel

Otto 'Bruno' Kittel was born on 21 February 1917 at Kronsdorf (now in Czech: Krasov) in the Jagerndorf (Krnov) region of Sudetenland. He joined the Luftwaffe in January 1939 and commenced flying training in November. After completing his training in January 1941, Kittel was posted to JG54 based at Jever in northern Germany. Unteroffizier Kittel was assigned to 2./JG54. On 31 May, Kittel suffered technical difficulties in Bf-109 F-2 (W.Nr. 127 25) necessitating a bale out near Spikeroog. He escaped injury. Kittel opened his score on 24 June 1941, during the opening phases of the invasion of Russia, shooting down two Russian SB-2 twin-engine bombers. He recorded his 10th victory on 12 September 1941 and his 20th one year later on 23 September 1942. On 12 January 1943, Kittel claimed six enemy aircraft shot down to record his 22nd through 27th victories. He achieved his 30th victory on 24 January 1943. On 19 February, Feldwebel Kittel recorded his 39th victory, which was also JG54's 4,000th of the war. After achieving his 47th victory on 15 March 1943, Kittel made an emergency landing in his Fw 190 A-4 (W.Nr. 142 481), 60 kilometers in Russian territory. Bitterly cold and underclothed, Kittel crossed the frozen Lake Ilmen and, after three long days, finally reached German territory.

He received the award of the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold shortly afterwards. He returned to 2./JG54 at the end of May after a period of hospitalisation. Kittel recorded his 50th victory on 11 June. He often flew with Unteroffizier Ulrich Wernitz (101 victories, RK) as his wingman at this time. In July, Kittel claimed 25 victories, including four enemy aircraft shot down on 5 July (56-59), a further three on 7 July (60-62), four on 13 July (67-70), three on 16 July (71-73) and his 80th victory on 27 July. Kittel shot down seven Russian aircraft on 4 August (87-93). He reached 100 victories on 14 September. On 26 October, Oberfeldwebel Kittel received the Ritterkreuz for 123 victories. He claimed 18 victories in October, including his 110th on 12 October, four enemy aircraft shot down on 15 October (115-118) and his 120th victory on 19 October. By the end of 1943, Kittel had 127 victories to his credit. In January 1944, Kittel was transferred as an instructor to Erganzungs-Jagdgruppe Ost based at Biarritz in France.

He was promoted Leutnant during his tenure there. He served with the unit until March. Kittel returned to JG54 to take up the appointment of Staffelkapitan of 3. Staffel. He claimed 14 victories in March 1944, including his 130th victory on 7 March, three enemy aircraft shot down on 26 march (135-137) and his 140th victory on 30 March. On 8 April Kittel shot down five enemy aircraft (147-151). With his score at 152, Leutnant Kittel was awarded the Eichenlaub (Nr. 449) on 11 April 1944. He claimed five enemy aircraft shot down on 28 June (159-163). Kittel recorded his 200th victory on 26 August. He claimed 34 victories in October, including five enemy aircraft shot down on 9 October (231-236), three on 10 October (237-238), four on 16 October (240-243), seven on 27 October (248-254), five Russian Il-2 Sturmovik ground-attack aircraft on 29 October (255-260) and three IL-2 Sturmoviks on 30 October (261-263). On 25 November, he was awarded the Schwertern (Nr. 113) for bravery in the face of the enemy and 239 victories. He also received promotion to the rank of Oberleutnant. On 14 (or 16?) February 1945, Otto Kittel took off to intercept a flight of Russian Il-2 Sturmovik ground-attack aircraft over Dzukste, Kurland. Witnesses say that Kittel dove into a formation of eight of the ground-attack aircraft. He damaged one but it did not go down, instead, disappearing back over the Russian lines, on fire and in serious trouble. Kittel's Fw 190 A-8 (W.Nr. 960 282) 'Black 1' was hit by return fire from the other Il-2s and burst into flames. The aircraft plummeted to earth, trailing a long sheet of flame and smoke, where it crashed. Otto Kittel had no chance to take to his parachute.

Otto Kittel flew 583 combat missions and recorded 267 victories, including at least 94 Il-2 Sturmovik ground-attack aircraft, making him the fourth highest scoring ace of all time. Prior to his death, he had not been bested in aerial combat but had been shot down once by flak.

Emil 'Bully' Lang - Wurger Experte:

While the Fw 190A series rapidly became the fighter of choice among the Channel Front Jagdgeschwader, none of the Eastern Front jagdflieger received the aircraft until JG 51 - based in the Central Sector - was re-equipped with Fw 190A-3s and A-4s in November 1942. I and II Gruppen of JG 54, the Greenhearts Geschwader, began re-equipment in December 1942, with final changeover from the Bf-109G-2 completed in February 1943.

At this time, the Greenhearts were assigned to Luftflotte 1 on the Northern Front, based at Siverskaya and Krasnogvardiesk in the vicinity of Leningrad. The Northern Sector had become static in September 1941, when the city was first surrounded and the Wehrmacht began the legendary 900-day siege. JG 54 would be the only Jagdgeschwader on the Eastern Front to remain equipped with the Fw 190A throughout the war, ending their service cut off from the rest of the German forces in the Courland peninsula of Estonia, a position they held for the final six months of the war.

The Jagdflieger of JG 54 were not as immediately impressed with Kurt Tank’s “second iron in the fire” as their Western Front brethren, with one leading pilot saying the airplane “landed like a wet sack of flour.”

Hauptman Emil “Bully” Lang was a bit old for a fighter pilot at 33, having had a prewar career with Lufthansa prior to joining the Luftwaffe on active duty following the outbreak of the war. He had in fact had to fight his way into the Jagdwaffe, claiming his place by demonstrating his outstanding flying ability. Joining JG 54 during the Battle of Britain, Lang soon established himself as not only an outstanding pilot but an experte of the first rank and was the senior Staffelkapitaen at the time II Gruppe transferred to the Fw 190.. As a qualified test pilot, Lang decided shortly after taking delivery of his Fw 190A-4 and returning with it to Siverskaya to see what the airplane was really capable of. He took it to its maximum altitude, wallowing at 27,000 feet, then rolled and aimed the nose straight down in a terminal-velocity dive. The dive was so long that the propeller arc became a dive brake as the airplane achieved its absolute maximum speed somewhere in the vicinity of 600 mph. It took all of Lang’s considerable strength (his nickname came from his size) to pull the stick back sufficiently to pull out without hitting the ground. Back at the base, the other pilots gathered around to count the missing rivets in the wing root and recheck the dihedral, only to find all rivets resolutely unpopped! Lang’s dive was the ultimate confidence-builder for the unit.

Operation Zitadelle - known to history as The Battle of Kursk - was Hitler’s last gamble to change the course of the war in the East. At first only I/JG 54 was moved to the Central Sector to reinforce JG 51 and provide air superiority over the battleground. On July 5, 1943, Oberstleutnant Hannes Trautloft - the original Kommodore of JG 54 - handed over command to Major Hubertus von Bonin. II/JG 54 remained on the Leningrad front for the time being. The battle began on July 5, with the Fw 190s of both JG 51 and JG 54 scoring well. By July 10, the ominous outcome of the battle began to take shape as Russian aerial opposition hardened, with Soviet fighter regiments mounting their own “free hunt” sweeps over the front, attacking forward German fighter fields relentlessly. On July 11, I/JG 54 Kommandeur Major Sepp Seiler was shot down and killed. Gunther Scheel, a71-victory experte, was lost in combat and he rammed a Yak-9 near Orel on July 17.

Aerial combat also increased around Leningrad, with II/JG 54 suffering losses. Gruppenkommandeur Hauptmann Heinrich Jung was lost on July 30. 82-victory experte Heinz Goetz, brought from the Mediterranean to replace Sepp Seiler was lost in combat over Orel on July 31, only 5 days after taking command of I Gruppe.

Following the collapse of the German offensive in mid-July and the stabilization of the front near Orel, 61 Soviet divisions struck the Ukraine front in August, rolling up the exhausted Wehrmacht, and expanding the offensive against Yelnya, Smolensk and Velizh to the north while hitting Poltava and Kharkov to the south, and the entire Ukraine beyond. From this point onward, the Soviet offensive would be unrelenting, maintaining full fury against the Germans until early 1944 when the last units were driven off the territory of the Soviet Union.

Both Gruppen of JG 54 were now shuttled back and forth between the Northern Sector and the northern part of the Central Sector. Hugely outnumbered by the Red Air Force, those experten

who managed to survive ran up huge scores, often ten or more in a single day, as they flew up to four missions between dawn and dusk. Lang built his tally during this period with numerous combats in which he made multiple victory claims.

Lang’s greatest day came on October 18, 1943, when he took off leading a schwarm for a dawn patrol over the central front. Spotting a formation of Il-2 Stormoviks escorted by P-39 Airacobras, Lang dove for the attack, shooting down four P-39s in as many minutes. He then shot another off his wingman before shooting down two of the heavily-armored Sturmoviks for a total seven victories in the one mission. Later that day he intercepted another Russian formation and tore into the escort, shooting down a further six. In a final mission in the late afternoon he once again came across a huge Russian formation and shot down five more P-39s, for a total of 18 victories in three missions in one day - the all-time world record for a fighter pilot. While his score is impressive, it is a measure of just how overwhelming the Soviet numerical superiority was that Lang’s feat had no influence on the outcome of fighting that day, as Stormoviks and Pe-2s tore into German armor all along the front and hundreds of other P-39s, P-40s, and other Soviet fighters strafed German positions with impunity.

Lang received the Swords to his Knight’s Cross in January 1944 for this feat. In June 1944, having achieved 159 victories during his years of service with JG 54, he was transferred to the Normandy front to take command of II/JG 26. Flying his first mission on June 9, he shot down three Spitfires over Caen. Lang led the Gruppe through the chaos of the Battle of Normandy, extricating the Gruppe to Germany by the end of July. He spent the first two weeks of August training the new pilots who replaced the many lost in France. Many of the pilots in the Gruppe were Nachwuchs (new growth), young pilots like Obergefreiter Walter Stumpf who entered combat that month with 180 total flying hours, of which he had 20 hours on Bf-109s and Fw 190s. He and his fellow youngsters were going up against RAF pilots who entered combat with at least 450 hours’ experience, and Americans who started with 600 hours.

II/JG 26 returned to operations in time to take part in the last of the fighting over France, including an all-out fight with the Spitfires of 127 Wing RCAF, led by Wing Commander Johnny Johnson on August 23, in which Lang scored two of the three Spitfires shot down, while losing ten Nachwuchs to the experienced Canadians. On August 25, as Paris was being liberated, Lang led a freie jagd of 32 Fw 190s, spotting a formation of 24 P-38s from the 474th Fighter Group which had just been hit by Bf-109s of III/JG 26. Lang scored one P-38 in the first pass, and then two more of the total 11 P-38s lost by the 474th to II Gruppe, who returned to base without loss; August 25th became known as “Black Friday” to the surviving Lightning pilots.

On September 2, 1944, Lang was to lead II Gruppe in their final retreat into Germany, a flight from Moelsbroek, Holland, to Dusseldorf. Lang’s Fw 190 had been giving him trouble, and his schwarm was the last of the unit to take off. Ten minutes after takeoff, his long-serving wingman, Leutnant Alfred Gross, called out bandits to the rear. As Lang broke upward, the four Fw 190s were hit by 16 P-51s from the 38th Fighter Squadron of the 55th Fighter Group. 1st Lt. Darrel Cramer turned onto Lang’s tail, pulling 78 degrees of deflection as he leaned into his K-14 sight.

“I was closing fast, and turned off a little to the left to get further from his line of flight and reduce the angle-off. I turned in hard right and opened fire from 300 yards. When I ceased firing at 200 yards, the aircraft went out of sight below my nose because of the lead I was pulling. I broke up and came around. I saw the Fw 190 upside down in a step dive. It hit the ground so hard that it generated shock waves along the ground like a rock makes when it is thrown into a pond. It skidded a few yards and blew up in a fireball.”

The other members of Lang’s Stabschwarm were quickly overwhelmed by the Mustangs, only Unteroffiziere Borreck survived his crash to tell the rest of the Gruppe what had happened to their Kommandeur.

At the time of his death, Lang had scored 173 victories, including 25 scored in the cauldron of France with II/JG 26. At age 35, he was the oldest active pilot in the Jadgwaffe.

Rudolf Klemm

Rudolf Klemm was born on 10 February 1918 at Haltingen in the Lorrach region of Baden. He joined the Luftwaffe in 1937. Following several years as a flying instructor, Klemm was transferred to JG54, based on the Eastern front, in December 1941. Oberfeldwebel Klemm was assigned to 8./JG54. He gained his first victory on 7 February 1942. Klemm claimed a further victory on 4 April, which was also the 2,000th victory recorded by JG54. He claimed 10 victories in September, including five Russian fighters shot down on 29 September to record his eighth through 12th victories. When III./JG54 was relocated to the Western front, Klemm had 23 victories to his credit. In March 1943, Klemm was promoted to officer rank and was transferred to 9./JG54. On 17 April, he claimed his first fourengine bomber shot down: a USAAF B-17 15km southwest of Ahlhorn.

On 14 May, he claimed his 25th victory but then his Bf-109 G-4 (W.Nr. 16 144) "Yellow 10" was hit by German flak and he was wounded, blinding him in one eye. Despite this handicap, Klemm returned to combat duty some weeks later. In November 1943, Klemm transferred to the Stabsstaffel of III./JG54. On 1 February 1944, Klemm was appointed Staffelkapitan of 7./JG54. He had accumulated 27 victories at this time. He recorded his 32nd victory on 8 April. On 9 April he was shot down and wounded in Bf-109 G-6 (W.Nr. 15 573) "White 1" by escorting USAAF P-47 fighters. Subsequently, two toes had to be amputated. Klemm was transferred to IV./JG54 based on the Eastern front in summer 1944. Hauptmann Klemm was awarded the Ritterkreuz on 18 November for 39 victories. On 1 December, Klemm was appointed Gruppenkommandeur of IV./JG54.

He led the Gruppe until its dissolution in February 1945. On 15 February 1945, Klemm was appointed Gruppenkommandeur of III./JG54 based on the Western front under the control of JG26. He replaced Hauptmann Robert "Bazi" Wei? (121 victories, RK-EL) who Aces of the Luftwaffe - Rudolf Klemm had been shot down and killed on 29 December 1944. III./JG54 was redesignated IV./JG26 on 25 February and was based at Varrelbusch. On 19 March 1945, he claimed his 42nd, and last, victory when he shot down a USAAF P-51 fighter 10km northwest of Nordhorn. Klemm received orders to report to JG7 on 17 April 1945. He was destined never to reach the unit before the end of the war. Rudolf Klemm was credited with 42 victories in 293 missions. He recorded 13 victories over the Western front, including 8 four-engine bombers.
