"White 1" Scheme #1.


Initial service markings. This is probably what White 1 looked like when in service with 13./JG 5 in August - November 1944. The markings consisted of an as yet unknown number (here depicted as White 1) and the wavy band of IV. Gruppe. Size and proportions of the latter is taken from one of the wreckage photographs mentioned in the text and was probably the same on all Focke-Wulfs in the Gruppe. Camouflage consist of the regular 74/75/76 with light mottling. The spinner spiral was probably present at this time.

"White 1" Scheme #2.



This scheme depicts White 1 as it probably looked between early November 1944 to February 1945 while in service with 9./JG 5. A new Gruppe marking (the white disc of III./JG 5) has been added, necessitating the overpainting of the former symbol. As explained in the text this was probably done using RLM 75 as shown. If the numeral was changed this might have been overpainted using RLM 76 which would appear as lighter than the more weathered RLM 76 present elsewhere on the airframe. Other additions include a White rudder, a white cowling ring and a small numeral 1 on the undercarriage doors. The size of this numeral is based on that seen on other Focke-Wulfs from 9. Staffel.

"White 1" Scheme #3.


This is a snow camouflage version. If White 1 received snow camouflage, this probably happened in November/December 1944 while in service with 9./JG 5. The other comments in profile 2 apply. It is likely that this white distemper would fade and weather rather quickly and due to White 1 frequent use in December and January it was probably more faded than shown in this skin when it crashed on February 9th 1945.
