I did not know French built the FW 190

 

[A6Intruder]

Hi,
yes they did A5 and A8 Versions. But not very long. They run out of Spareparts to keep them flying, so the frech FW did not have a long life.
Best regards

I have ever seen actual airframe of a He.162 a few decades before but forgot what it was.
It looked huge even sitting beside a Spitfire.

From what I understand, the Russians never "captured" any of the 12 Bulgarian Ar196 and most remained in Bulgarian service until the early 1950's. They even still have one, it's on display at the military museum in Plovdiv.

The Werknummers for these 12 delivered from Germany are: 0219, 0244, 0245, 0247, 0252, 0253, 0255, 0256, 0257, 0258, 0261 and 0262.

The WkNmr for the Ar196 in Plovdiv is 0219 (and it's incorrectly marked number three when it should be number one).

Hi,
The Book, where i found the Profile of this Aircraft "German Aircrafts in Russian Service", does not say anything about Werknumbers. This aircraft has not been delivered to Russia, it was from the bulgarian Airforce. That is "captured" for me.
Today a captured Fw 190, forced to land on icey Ladoga Lake by russian fighters and later tested by the Russians.
