This machine was found by American tropps at München-Riem and was listed incorrectly as W.Nr. 111361 on 26 April 1945. White 1 was part of General Adolf Gallands personal fighter unit and he instucted his pilots to fly the Jet-fighter with full trottle, due the problems with the engines, and their flame outs due to forced trottle movements. This of caused the engines, the Junkers Jumo 109-004 life expectancy to be reduced to more than half of the 15-20 hours it was designed for. |
