Focke Wulf FW190D Wooden Wing Flaps (Hasegawa)

As a means to employ more contractors into the war effort and relieve over stressed metal fabricators, more and more wood parts were used replacing those made of aluminum on Luftwaffe aircraft. One such part was the landing flaps on the Fw 190 Dora aircraft. Some Dora aircraft were equipped with red mahogany plywood landing flaps, two known are Fw 190 D-9 "Red 13" of JV 44 Würgerstaffel W. Nr. 213240 and the famous "Yellow 10" Fw 190 D-13 W. Nr. 830017.
