Canino No. 6

 

On 25 June 1944, Allied Field Intelligence teams inspected the complex of landing grounds around Canino. The ones they designated Nos. 6 and 8 were “apparently pure decoys” and at the former were five dummy Fw 190s “made up of a wooden skeleton covered with sack type fabric on top and side surfaces, painted with all the correct crosses and white bands, carefully shaped to include even the wing root fillets, complete with spinners and propellers and main and tail wheels of wood. The tail fin is covered with plywood.” A total of eight dummy Fw 190s and two Bf 109s ("equally well made") was found on airfields 6 and 8: the local Italians were using them as a source of firewood.
