Fw 190 D-9 "Black 1" W. Nr. 210003, Pilot Oblt. Hans
Dortenmann of 14./JG 26 (IV. Gruppe), March 1945 near
Varrelbusch, Germany.
This aircraft was the third D-9 delivered having been
originally tested and adjusted at Rechlin, then issued to
Dortenmann. It survived the war; however, Dortenmann sadly blew
up his trusty crate at war's end. In addition, it is featured on
the cover of GREEN HEARTS FIRST IN COMBAT WITH THE DORA 9, a
Luftwaffe unit history by Axel Urbanke. Each print is
co-autographed by Gerhard Kroll, who as Feldwebel flew D-9's with
III./JG 54 as top cover for Kommando Nowotny's Me 262's. After
Nowotny's death, Kroll was assigned to home defense flying with
JG 26.
