Rare color film of German FW 190 fighter aircraft surrendering to U.S. troops at the end of WWII. Excellent video closeups of aircraft, camouflage, and markings.

10 years ago my dad found a metal prop blad on the local scrapyard in the Netherlands. After a bit of research with help of the regnumber. I found out it belonged to a FW190-A9 and the most special of it only 5% if that type that were build had metal blades. The others were made of wood. Now it has a Prominant spot in my livingroom.

Nope- that's a different lot of footage. This is actually mislabelled footage of three American pilots who took Fw 190's for a joyride after the war. The first pilot is Bruce W. Carr, who belly landed , because he couldn't get the gear down, and the second pilot, whose identity I do not know, you see taxiing in is wearing American flight gear, if you care to look closer. These aircraft are FW190 A models; the Fw190's in the Rudel footage are D9 long nose models. As I said- a different set of footage- of an entirely different event.

They didn’t disable it: It never flew because of a bad tire. All they could do was taxi around. Cobra’s prize (all yellow) possibly flew. Earlier ones were tested. It vibrated a lot, which was normal, and it out-turned pretty much anything under 250 mph. Above 250 mph it was awful and handled like a lump of iron. Germans always turned with it, although the margin was smaller against US types using flaps. Spitfires could not use partial flaps, so avoided turning with it unless at high speed, where they could rumble and stall to point the nose across the circle... The Spit was a hit and runner more than a turn fighter (all marks). See Johnny Johnson account “my duel with the FW”.
