Focke Wulf FW 190 website!

Weisse
Eins (White 1), a Focke Wulf FW 190 F8, W Nr 931862,
has a rich history and saw action while serving with JG
5 in Norway. The aircraft was last flown during the famous
Battle of Fordefjord on February 9, 1945. It came to rest
on a snow covered mountain after its pilot was forced to
bail out. In September 1983, it was recovered and displayed
at Flesland airport, for the Royal Norwegian Air Force Aircraft
Museum. Several years after that, the aircraft was sent
to the Texas Air Museum for static restoration. It is now
located in Florida.
When
the Focke Wulf Fw 190 - White 1 takes to the air, we will
be treated to sounds rarely heard since the end of WWII.
This is because White 1 will be powered by an original BWM
801 radial engine. There are very few working 801s left
today and none are currently flown.

1 Foundation Mission Statement
Our
Museum in no way intends to glorify the former Nazi
regime, but rather, as a formal Museum, to preserve
the World historical record that it did exist, and
to use this once captured aircraft, one of its tools,
as a solemn public memorial for all human beings lost
in the war.
The priviledge of our freedoms can only be truly appreciated
when held in sharp contrast to those who sought to
destroy our lives, our country, and our world order.
"Those who do not remember history are destined
to repeat it." - Winston Churchill
Our multicultural staff is proudly made up of people
from many different backgrounds, and religions. |
NEWS
We Are Moving!
WWII Fighter Aircraft Foundation will be relocating to its new facility at Stallion 51 Hangar 2. The move is ongoing, and we are excited about reopening in this larger venue amongst the best Warbird operation in the World, Stallion 51.
This new facility will allow eventual display of the FW 190 and the P-51 Mustang, with their associated artifacts for a side by side comparison of two of the greatest fighters of World War II.
While here, you can also experience an actual Mustang flight with Stallion 51.
Once relocated we will provide tours by appointment only, and free to members.
Memberships are available for 25.00 per adult and 40.00 per family per year, and you will also get access to our Website Member's Section. Members will also be invited to special events in the future.
Please visit, and join us in support of returning these legendary aircraft to the skies.
Thank you to Chad Brousseau for the kind
gift of this very interesting schild.
UPDATE: Rüdiger Kaufmann sent us the follow information about this schild.
Mitteldeutsche Motorenwerk GmbH Leipzig
Called MIMO
(Free translation: Middlegerman Enginefactory Ltd. Leipzig)
It was an engine factory in Taucha near Leipzig since 1935.
They were owned by the former Auto Union.
They built aircraft engines for Junkers since 1937. (Types: Jumo 205, 211,213 and the Jet engine Jumo 004)
After the war the whole factory was rebuild by the Russians in 1946 / 47. They took all the working engines to Russia.
The US Army was the first at this factory in April 1945. Shortly after, it was given to the Russians.
I think it must be from a Jumo engine or a tool from the factory.
Thank you for the information
Rüdiger!
