| I think DB said he was from Houston. Is there a thread to post pics from various flight museums? I just got some from the Warhawk museum near Boise, Idaho - I plan to post them after I get them developed.

Country:  | G'day Njaco, just read your comment..
FZG is short for 'Flakzielgeraet' (anti-aircraft aiming device), FZG 76 being the military designation for the unpiloted 'V-1' ('Vergeltungs Waffe I' - Vengeance weapon 1).
The V-1 (piloted and unpiloted) was made by Fiesler, RLM designation Fi 103, the 'R' ('Reichenberg') suffix referring to the piloted versions, of which there were 4 types, so basically all names are correct, depending on which context in which we're speaking of them.
(Another example of this is the V-2 - for Hitler, his 'Vergeltungs Waffe II', in the Wehrmacht, however the A-4 ('Aggregate 4') -can't remember the exact meaning of that one though, but short for 'Agressor geraete' ('Offensive weapon'), I think.

Country: | ahhhhh, ok, thanks A4k! Wasn't sure, sometimes in the states here they give names for things that don't match. Makes life fun!

Country: | I grew up with the terms 'V-1', 'Doodlebug' and 'Buzzbomb' myself in NZ. The proper names I learnt later...  | |

Country: | There is a small museum 40 miles or so to the east of us here in Des Moines, in the town of Greenfield, Iowa. I have seen the sign for it many times when I was going to my girlfriends sister's house for a family function. This thread makes me want to stop and take a look at it. i have always wanted to stop, but never had the time. I will have to make the trip especially for the museum. Maybe there will be a treasure or two there as well!!!

Country: | That Fw 190D-13 used to be at the Champlin Fighter Museum. I read somewhere that when the new owners acquired her, they realized that the wings were actually from a D-9, and it turned out the wings had got mixed during re-assembly after import to the States in 1945. The USAF museum's example had the D-13's wings, and subsequently Tamiya's 1:48 D-9 has D-13 wings, being modelled on that example! | |
