Re: Bf 109G-14 461200

The story in our book Bodenplatte was based on several sources. The ADI(K) Report clearly indicates that Russow bellylanded and that was supported by statements of eyewitnesses.

I believe that Ron Putz had contact with the people that recovered the a/c and there were also news paper articles about this event. It all states that the engine was recovered at some 5 metres....the a/c apparantly was buried after the war.....

However, there is one newspaper article that says that the pilot from this a/c parachuted out.....

If anybody does know the complete story for 100% certainty, just let me know.

Regards,

John

Hello Mike,

Regarding your Post #9, was the Motornummer ever determined?

Respectfully,

It seems I was right to ask about this loss.
So:
Is it possible with photos loaded by Harrison to say it was a DB605 A or a DB605 ASM ?
Is it possible to find other pictures of surroundings?

Franck.

If you look at the propeller blade, this indicates a AS or D engine. It also seems possible there is a 50 l oil tank behind the propeller.
