Dear guys!

These photos for home collections only, collected by me, for the dora family lovers of EAW community and for young historicans of military aviation. 
Please don't redistribute them... Several white pages had in the military history books, i hope fill out at least one with these photos and documents...
Thanks.





Red 1 I.
  The photo was taken by american troops in May 1945 on the Munchen-Riem airbase. Captured aircraft lined up wing by wing. 
  JV-44 (commonly mis-referenced as "Papegeien staffel") use this  "Red 1" Focke-Wulf Fw-190 D-9 (Wnr.600424) wich was flown by Leutnant 
  Heinz Sashsenberg. Spinner rear is same color like the blades (70) but front part looks yellow. Color difference between the fuselage cross (22) and
  the swastika (66) is evident.     

Red 1 II.
  Another shoot from different angle. Ground personnels left this bird in unfyable condition, -when retreating to Maxglan-Ainring airfiel near 
  Salzburg-, probably lack of fuel or parts. Cabin interior destroyed (probably by hand grenade?) and burned out (seen on the windshield...) and 
  tail wheel is looks torned of. Siebel Si-204D light utility in the left and a '109 late G or K parked in right side of the plane.

Red 1 III.
  Color sideview of Wnr. 600424. It wears late war colors,  82 & 83 on the wing and fuselage upper and 76 on wing bottom and partially on the fuselage
  sides. The lower surfaces repainted for red color (23) with narrow white stripes (21) as ' field modifications '. These strange bright lower colors 
  required, for the airfield defense flak batteries, for the quick recognition of frendly aircrafts in the heat of battle.

Red 4  I.
  This photo was taken by american troops in May 1945 on the Munchen-Riem airbase. This is the another side of the Siebel Si-204D light utility plane.
  Captured Arado 'blitz' recon aircraft (T9+GH) parked in the foreground of this JV-44 used Focke Wulf Fw-190 D-11 (Wnr.170933), wich was flown 
  by an unknown pilot. Ground personnels cannibalised this wurger when retreating to Maxglan-Ainring airfiel near Salzburg.
  Wide VS-10 propellor blade and opened fuselage/cowling gun access service doors is clearly seen. (Cowl. guns not used on D-11sub model.)
 
Red 4  II.
  Color photo about dora eleven model kit. This JV-44 example use flat type rear canopy.Outboard MK-108 gun barel seen on the leading edge just in
  the U/C mounting point.It wears late war colors of 75 & 83 on the wing and the fuselage front, striped with 81 around the tail section and rudder.
  The lower surfaces painted with red color (23) with narrow white stripes (21). 

Red 4  III.
  Color sideview of Wnr. 170933.

Red 4  IV.
  Aircraft graveyard somewhere near Munchen...the final fate of red four. June 1945.
  Size of markings are seen, and the inscription the fuselage as the follows   > Der nahste herr, der selbe dame <  or  >The next guy is the same girl <


Red 4  V.
  Another color sideview of Wnr. 170933.This plane originally built as one of several prototype A-8 for testing trials, (when 170000 batch entered) 
  but later rebuild for testing purposes for D-11 standards at Langenhagen Focke Wulf factory..
