Fw 190D-9, W.Nr. 210240, Oblt. Klaus Faber, Ainring base,
Austria, May 1945 (Profile: Petr Štěpánek)
Victorious Americans posing at Ainring, Austria on the front of Fw 190
D-9 Red ‘13’. Reportedly, it was with this aircraft that Klaus Faber
gained one, perhaps two, kills at the beginning of May. It was suppos-
edly during a ferry flight, and the flight back was to deliver whiskey.

Fw 190 D-11 red ‘4’, which originally belonged to VFS des G.d.J. (See
Info Eduard, June 2010) is evidently damaged by fire. The inscriptions
of the JV 44 Doras still evoke discussion and questions. This ‘Another
Man, same Woman’ could, for example, mean that this was a replace-
ment or reserve aircraft. It could have also meant something totally
different. After all, much of the flak crews at Riem were female.
