The Last Flight of Yellow 10 by Jack Fellows

"Yellow Ten", so named for the colored number on either side of the fuselage, was assigned to JG.26 in March of 1945, and due to the chaotic conditions of that period, not much is known of its short service record, other than it was captured, or surrendered in April (or as late as May) at the Luftwaffe airbase at Flensburg on the Danish frontier, which, at the time was in the hands of the advancing Allied forces.

This particular machine was eventually shipped to the United States for evaluation, donated subsequently to Georgia Tech, and by 1955, had arrived at an advanced state of decrepitude, due to vandalism and neglect. It is now fully restored to better than new condition, at the expense of warbird collector, Doug Champlin (Champlin Fighter Museum), an extremely rare example of the last iteration of the Fw190 evolutionary line, the Fw190D-13, the 17th example, and probably one of the last of the 190s, a total of about 20,000 Fw190s of all series had been produced by the war's end.
