At the time I owned her we did not know the work or serial number.This was when no one was interested in old military aircraft. You could buy P-51,s for $4500, with an exrta engine. There was also a ME-109 here In Atlanta and for ten years I tried to buy it but the owner would not sell. The wings were later destroyed because he did not keep up with the A/C.It was at that time I found out that he had the FW-190 and was able to purchase it. The Fus.,engine and prop to the ME-109 were sold to a book salesman in Calif and was sold to someone else,I never found out to whom. There is much more to the history of the FW. Cobra She is suspose to be the only one of her kind.
