Country:  | Dug the book out specially(Had to box them due to being a father of 2 now). Unfortunately the other red 190 was captured in the Belgium. The photo of yours is in Tunisia 1943. 2 FW190A-5s where captured one painted red and other olive both carry the 79th Fighter Group badge. It appears to be a flying skull with wings. Perhaps someone can clarifiy this as the image isnt clear.

Country: | Close but the image looks like the skull is looking right and down and both eye sockets can be seen.

Country: | The tailplane on the olive plane is yellow top and bottom with red tips. So I would guess this is same for both the tailplane and the wing on the red example with red starting at the wing/fuse fairing.
Hopfully the LEMB will be up and running again soon.

Country: | Looked again at the red 190 79th badge. By really squinting a cloud and a tip of the wing appear to be in the same position as the badge you posted. Perhaps the other plane has a different interputation or the starboard badge is in a different style to the port side?

Country: | The only pic I have of the plane is the one in this thread. It could be like this patch. Then again, I am sure what is painted on the plane is only what ever the artist of the time could paint on it. I am sure it wasnt exact.

Country: | Yes, because nose art and insigna can vary a bit due to the fact that it was mostly done at the individual level of the squadron. I am pretty sure that nose art was more unofficial. Not sure sure about squadron insigna though... | |
