Fw 190A-8, Melsbroek, Belgium. Works No. 175140, 6 + – (Brown outlined in black). Burnt and looted."
September/October 1944
Based on its werknummer, this Fw 190 A-8 was one of 300 aircraft (175001–175300) manufactured by Focke-Wulf at Cottbus, with this particular aircraft being completed sometime in mid-late August 1944. It obviously had a very short operational career as it was found abandoned on the airfield at Melsbroek (near Brussels), Belgium on September 4. Thus it served with II./JG 26 for about two weeks at best. It appears to have suffered a "kopfstand" following its last flight and was left in that state when the Germans fled the airfield on September 3 after operating from it for only five days. Its pose naturally attracted many photographers thus creating a comprehensive photographic record. It also attracted the interest of Allied intelligence as it was noted and briefly described in a Crashed Enemy Aircraft (CEA). It was later completely destroyed sometime in October 1944 when a booby-trapped 250 kg bomb buried under its motor exploded while it was being moved by American troops expanding the runway.
