The
author and a friend of him , in front of the wrecks of a
FW190 F8 , just outside the main exhibition hangar . This
aircraft crashed in the Baltic See just after taking off
,(see the entended landing gear) . Two bodies were found
in the fuselage , the pilot in the cockpit and his
mecanic in the fuselage . They try ,at the very end of
the war, to escape Curland . |
|
|
This Focke Wulf FW
190F8 , was equiped with PB2 anti-tank rockets . This
close view shows the metal fixing parts of the wooden
rocket launcher . This feature is very interesting as it
seems that the rocket launcher was intalled in the
factory and not retro-fitted . The wing was also covered
of aluminium patched to fill small caliber bullet holes . |
Now back inside the
Museum , in the World War I hangar . This Avaitik found
in Poland was restored in its initial paintings and
markings. |
|
|
A very interesting
thing point was discovered on this aircraft , by reading
the manufacturer plate . This aircraft was build in
Alsace " Elsass in german" (french territory
occupied by german from 1870 to 1918 ) in Mulhouse
"Mulhausen" 40 kilometers far from were I was
born . What a surprise to find a part of the history of
my region so far East !! |
A part of the initial
fuselage was kept . You can then admire the restauration
of the Aviatik . |
