F190 incident[edit]

DFW 190 incident described here is not true. The actual belly landing by Bruce Carr didn't happen in November 1944, it happened after VE Day in about the third week of April 1945. After the end of the war Allied Pilots started taking captured German aircraft back to their bases. He simply got a ride to where there were some FW 190s and flew it back to his base but didn't know how to get the gear down and belly landed the plane. Here is the actual video taken in May of 1945. Notice car is standing next to the crashed airplane clean shaven in a pressed uniform and wearing a parachute. There are other scenes in the video but the placard at the end of the video that shows the date as April 20 something in 1945. It's not clear how the false story got started.
