EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the sleek lines and formidable presence of a Focke Wulf FW-190A-2 fighter jet of the German Luftwaffe, parked on the tarmac during routine maintenance in 1942. The distinctive yellow nose and wings, known as "Gelb-2," mark this particular aircraft as part of Jg2 (Jagdverband 2), a unit known for its effectiveness in air-to-air combat. The FW-190A-2, also referred to as the "Wurger" or "Shrike," was a piston-engine powered fighter interceptor that became a key component of the Luftwaffe's air force during World War II. Its advanced design and powerful armament made it a formidable opponent for Allied forces, particularly over the English Channel. In this image, we see the meticulous care and attention given to the maintenance of this vital war machine. The ground crew works diligently to ensure the FW-190A-2 is ready for its next sortie. However, the photograph carries a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. The regular pilot of this aircraft, Feldwebel Karl Novak, went missing after air combat over the English Channel on 10 June 1942. His fate remains unknown, leaving a gap in the history of this particular FW-190A-2 and the brave men and women who fought in the skies during World War II.
