Description
This painting depicts two Netherlands-based (Deelen) JG 1 Wurgers as they roll out to meet the 8th Air Force on 27 September 1943. The featured Fw 190 A-6 is Condor Legion veteran Oblt. Georg Schott in his "Weiss 11". Schott, Staffelkapitan of 1./JG 1 and a 16-victory ace, was downed by return fire from the bombers on this attack and bailed out. He made it into his dinghy, but search and rescue efforts proved futile. Schott's body, still in his dinghy, washed ashore on the island of Sylt three weeks later on 11 October.
The "checkerboard" nose markings were worn by I./JG 1 machines during 1943 for quick recognition in the air. The "checks" first appeared in the summer, and lasted into late 1943/very early 1944. In early 1944 JG 1 introduced a new "Flying 1" emblem for the noses of their aircraft, and at that time I. Gruppe reintroduced a cowling marking previously worn by their Stab (Headquarters) flight from April to approximately June 1943 - broad horizontal black and white stripes.
