Schlachtgeschwader 1 (SchlG 1) was formed on January 13, 1942 as a ground-attack unit. In 1943 the Schlachtgeschwader 1 was renamed SG 1. In April, 1943 SG. 1 converted to the Fw-190A-5 but it wasn’t until late 1944, early 1945 that the Fw-190F-9 was put into action. At this point in time there were critical shortages of material so wood was being used for some parts such as tails, flaps and ailerons. The green Tech Chevron markings suggest this aircraft belonged to the Technical Officer for II/SG1 at München-Neubiberg, a major location for aircraft supply to Italy during the war.

Focke-Wulf Fw 190F

Designed by Kurt Tank, the Fw-190A was first flown on June 1st, 1939. This small, yet ferociously-powered aircraft was fast and manoeuvrable and packed a fierce armament package earning it the nickname "Butcher Bird". The wide landing gear, excellent visibility and high-altitude paddle-bladed propeller endeared it to pilots familiar with the shortcomings of its predecessor - the Messerschmitt Bf 109. Some of the Luftwaffe's most famous fighter aces flew the Fw 190. Many variants were produced during the war, with the most notable being the inline-engine equipped and longer-nosed 190D, known as the "Dora."
