Hi Rudi,

Thanks for great work as always. Just a note since you saved this pic as 'Bf 109' - it's actually an Fw 190. Given the location on the photo's back provided as Straubing and the specific markings (black 10+I without any outline), it's likely an F variant from the 8. Staffel of an SG belonging to the Luftflotte 4.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

For some reason I'm getting an error report while trying to upload these photos.

Several photos in an album from a GI, Ju 88, Bf 109 and others:

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Hello Rudi,
Unless I am mistaken, your Post #5574 is the oft-photographed, AGO-built, Fw190A-8, WNr. 737938. Marked 9+ blue, it last served with 4./JG301, and featured that units 2xred/yellow RV bands. Rare for a late-war fighter, it sported the name “Steppke” and a “Starke Mann” crest on its left cockpit side.
My identification of this aircraft is confirmed by the He111 fuselage hulk to its left side.
Respectfully,
Steve Sheflin

Thank you Rudi. This Emil of 2./JG27 "Schwarze 2" is unknown to me. Pity the image is so small.

Regards,
Franck.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Thank you Rudi for this Bf 109 K; Auction already ended !

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Greetings,
Post #5593 - This Bf 109 K-4 is one of few examples where both its raised oil filler hatch and CWSDH (Cold Weather Starting Device Hatch) are visible in the same photo.
Note also, its “K” radio access hatch, large upper wing bulges, and its rearward-positioned DF loop.
Of particular interest, its wooden tail unit features what may be a rarely-seen curved lower wooden rudder profile (unless it was just damaged in the crash).
Also, its WNr. was applied to its upper fin, and its vertical yellow III-Gruppe bar is broader than its yellow plane number “2.”
Finally, it has what appears to be a roughly-applied 8, 3, or 9, remnants of the “last-three” of its WNr., peeking out aft of its RV band.
Respectfully,
Steve Sheflin

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Given all the circumstances and visible information this is very likely an aircraft of III./JG 27. Is it known which colors this Gruppe used for its Staffeln?

Cheers,
Christian

I believe it's a Blue 2 white outlined as usual.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Thanks Franck!
Don't see the white outline tbh, but either yellow or blue it is.
