The Focke-Wulf FW 190 A-5 with construction number (0150) 1227 was one of a series of 712 aircraft built between January 1943 and August 1943. The aircraft was manufactured in April 1943 at the Focke-Wulf factory in Mariënburg (now Malbork Poland).
The aircraft was delivered in May 1943 and went to 4./JG54 which flew from Siverskaya near Leningrad (now Petersburg. On Monday July 19th 1943, after a ground attack mission the engine failed.The pilot, Feldweber Paul Rätz performed a successful belly landing near Voibakala, where the aircraft remained until is was discovered in 1989 and recovered in 1991.
It has been restored in flying conditions and is now owned by the Flying Heritage Collection in the last scheme this aircraft had. This is how the aircraft looked factory fresh, with and without theater markings. (During the restoration, both schemes were found on the aircraft)
