This is a group of airframe and structure parts which are aluminium and steel made from a German aircraft flown by the relative of the very famous world war 1 German ace red baron. And this actual aircraft there is not much about at all.
This is a group of 4 airframe sections which are in relic, rusty condition but still with some small amount of original paintwork also with original colours but one of the parts has a lot of its original black paintwork. The parts still with some dirt attached from the recovery and have ripped and bent by the impact of the crash they have been cleaned but might clean up more with effort they are in nice solid condition and are perfect for display or any collection the parts are 3-7 inches long and come with 2xA5 laminated information cards with pictures also crash site memorial and map.
The parts come from German Focke Wulf 190 number 730909 of 10/JG2 the pilot was Ruthard Von Richthofen he was shot down by a US P-51 Mustang on the 13th July 1944 during the Battle of Normandy
The plane crashed near Argentan. Ruthard Von Richthofen bailed out safely the circumstances of his death are unknown, but it is thought he was shot on the ground by French civilians being buried near the crash site in a unmarked grave. Argentan which was still in German hands so it is thought this would be unwise to kill a German pilot in these circumstances, but such things did happen also it is possible he was strafed from the air.He was he related to Manfred von Richthofen the Red Barron possibly a nephew. He was one of at least three young members of the von Richthofen family to be Killed in World War 2. Johannes was Killed in 1941, the other was an Focke Wulf 190 ground attack pilot, Feldwebel Wolfram von Richthofen, on the Eastern Front, who was posted missing in action just a month before.
