History:

Different sources disagree on whether or not the Fw-190 D-11 actually entered production, but the fact remains that several were discovered after the end of the war at Bad Worishofen, apparently assigned to the Verbandfuhrerschule General der Jagdflieger (the Training School for Unit Leaders) which was based there. The werke nummeren (manufacturers numbers) of these aircraft would seem to indicate that production of the Dora 11 had indeed begun, with at least 4 aircraft appearing with numbers in the 220XXX block. The Dora 11 was similar to the D-9, differing only in the fitting of the Jumo 213E engine, which had better altitude performance than the Jumo 213A of the D-9 series, and replacement of the twin 13mm machine guns over the engine with a pair of 30mm MK 108 cannon in the wings, giving the D-11 a much more lethal punch. I have not been able to find anything on the service history of the Dora 11 with the Verbandfuhrerschule General der Jagdflieger. Before the war ended, one of the Dora 11s of the Verbandfuhrerschule was transferred to General Galland's JV 44 operating as part of the unit's airfield protection flight.

Colors:

This Dora was photographed at Bad Worishofen after the end of the war. The aircraft was in a derelict state, but appears to be in late-war camouflage of dark green (RLM 82) and medium gray (RLM 75) upper surfaces, with the lower fuselage and nose in some variation of RLM 76 (anything from a light blue-gray to light blue-green, depending on paint manufacturer) and the undersurfaces of the wing left unpainted on the rear half, with the upper surface medium gray (RLM 75) being carried around and under the front half of the wing. The hatch in front of the canopy would appear to be a lighter color (though this may be a trick of light.) The whole aircraft had a very patchy appearance typical of late-war aircraft production.
