the pilot sitting on the wing of the Fw 190A-8 is freind and RK ace Willi Unger. It is a propaganda shot of 12thSturmFw's/JG 3 with the stupid Kregs-gerat or reverse firing mortar used by the staffel operationally for about 20 days. The thing was a waste of time although attacking the bombers from the rear in the SturmFw and then coming out the front to be fired on by a rearward facing rocket would be disheartening to bomber crews I can imagine. This is Yellow 17 which Willi never even flew as it is not logged at all in his flugbuch. There are about 4 pics taken of him and this goofy a/c.
