"FOCKE-WULF Fw 190 D-13/R11"
In addition to the artist's signature each print is co-autographed by
Luftwaffe pilots Dr. Heinz Lange and Gerhard Kroll.
The Aircraft: Artist Jerry Crandall has had a special interest in this D-13
since finding it in a vacant lot in Georgia in 1965. He was able to thoroughly
measure and photograph this rare machine before it was acquired by the
Champlin Fighter Museum. This is the only surviving D-13 known.
Similar to the D-9, the main physical differences include a paddle-bladed VS
10 propeller, no 13mm guns over the engine, the supercharger intake
scoop is oval rather than round like the D-9; and the armament consists of
3 MG 151 20mm cannons, one firing through the prop hub and two in the
wing roots.
This machine was the 17th D-13 manufactured and delivered to JG 26.
"Yellow 10" was captured by the Canadians at Flensburg at wars end.
Oberst Heinz Lange, the Kommodore of JG 51 who flew D-9's, was asked
by the RCAF in June 1945 with Günther Josten, also of JG 51, to fly this
advanced fighter against the Hawker Tempest in mock combat. Feldwebel
Gerhard Kroll flew D-9's with III./JG 54 as top cover for Kommando
Nowotny's Me 262's. After Nowotny's death, Kroll was assigned to home
defense. III./JG 54 became IV./JG 26 on 25 February 1945, the unit flying
D-9's and D-13's.
