Re: 4/04 - Bf109s on eBay

Hello,

Weisse 5 (15).
The present picture is most probably taken in Bönninghardt, tree line, tree size & environnement is so close of what we can find on other pictures that I have no doubt ... I can add, in september 1939.
It should be good to find another picture with the same white house to confirm this.
We can find another clue in JFV, Teil 2, page 189 where White 15 is pictured, presenting the same number style and the same "5" characteristic; ie it's painted a little bit on octane triangle. So I totally agree with David suggestion.
Left to read the WNr. I made a suggestion; any sharp eye down there?

Concerning JG 3/JG 1 options, I have no documentation about that. Jim comment seems reasonnable.

Cheers, Franck.

Could it be the summer loss for Detlev Rohwer?

That's a TEAM work,

I read July in that page: http://www.luftwaffe.cz/rohwer.html but it's not always up to date.
