Name That Plane

OK guys, most of you know how this works. A member posts a photograph or drawing of a plane, no other information, and other members try and guess what it is. If the posts "stumps" for too long, hints should be forthcoming.

I'll kick off this section with...

Well, its a Bolhm & Voss but cant think of the number off the top of my head!

That number would be Bv 141, and you got it.

You're up next Wolster!!

Ok gents, an easy one. What is the plane, the model, the squadron and the name of the pilot?

lufttiger · #5 (**permalink**) February 27th, 2008, 02:27 PM

A FW d-9, could even be a Ta 154? other than that i don't recognize the markings.
Opps i mean a TA 152.

Thanks for leaving the pilot's motto in there, it made it easy I hope.

The motto reads: "By Order of the State Railway".

That would be Hptm. Waldemar Wubke whose "Red 3" Fw190D-9 was attached to JV 44 Papagie Staffel.

Was I even close?

If so, the underside of the wings should be painted red and white stripes.

I concur. I also think it's the second option in Dragon's 1/48 D-9 that's depicted here. The first being the aircraft of Gerhard Barkhorn...Germany's second highest scoring pilot of the war. Christl 5.
You can just see the red underside visible near the cowling.
