Guys,I'm trying to track down any picture references of Feldwebel Wilhelm Mayer's FW 190 A-6/A-7 of 7. Staffel Jagdgeschwader 26.

 

According to historic information it was Mayer that shot down Group Captain George 'Pick' Pickard's Mosquito on the 18th February 1944 during the Amiens Prison raid.My friend and I would like any picture references of his FW 190 A-6/A-7 so we can make a historic skin of his aircraft.If you think you can help please let us know,thank you.

 

BTW this is Wilhelm Mayer we require info on not Egon Mayer.

Not Wilhelm Mayer's but is of 7th Staffel and the note about the the brown staffel marking colour is an interesting reference:

Bear in mind that the A-8 didn't enter service till April, so A-6/A-7 is the more likely variant he was flying...

Ah yes Oblt Waldemar Radener and his Brown 4,thanks Fenrir much appreciated,however I have seen this and took note of the Brown or rusty red/brown marking colour.Radener was with Mayer on the scramble to intercept the Amiens Prison raiders,he shot down one of the escorting Typhoons......but then I'm sure you're quite aware of that eh ? 😉

 

You're right about the A-8......I'd forgotten this gem of information,yes he was more likely to be flying the A-6/A-7 thank you for bringing this to my attention I'll change my initial message,thx buddy 👍
