This beautiful example of the graceful Ta 152 aircraft in flight. 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 Auffhammer 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.

Personally autographed by the Artist and Knight's Cross holders Walter Loos and Willi Reschke, prominent JG 301 Home Defense Staff pilots.
