Description
The aviation art print 'JG 301 Staff Flight Ta 152' by Jerry Crandall beautifully features the graceful Ta 152s flown by the only two Knight's Cross holders from JG 301. Willi Reschke flies 'Green 1' and Walter Loos 'Green 4', the Ta 152 H-O in storage in the Smithsonian and Stab member Josef Keil in 'Green 3'.
III./JG 301 was selected to be re-equipped with the new Ta 152. Because of production delays this goal could not be achieved. It was decided to concentrate the new machines into the Geschwaderstab and transfer experienced pilots from III. Gruppe to the Stab. Oberstleutnant Fritz Aufhammer was the official Kommodore but was mainly an administrator. From III. Gruppe came Willi Reschke, Herman Stahl, Josef Keil, Sepp Sattle, Christoph Blum and Heinz Gossow and from JG 300 came Walter Loos.
