1/ That's the photo I was thinking about.

2/ That's the good reason for which I wrote "before 26 February" since the photo posted by bakerman shows us Two victories, not only one.

you should check in Mietusch`s logbook if he had flown "white 2".

Indeed.
If not, you have that:
Prien, et al, Die Jagdfliegerverbände, V, p.335 photos; Kit & Aders, Les Messerschmitt sur le Front Med p17 photo
E-7/N WNr.6467 "Weisse 2".
...
Next ?

Hi all,

I have in my archive like "white 2" this plane:

https://www.asisbiz.com/il2/Bf-109E/...6-ebay-01.html

and like "white 3" this plane:

https://www.asisbiz.com/il2/Bf-109E/...y-1941-01.html

the 1st photo is different plane then on the 2nd photo - check the position of tractor and position of heart marking on the cowling.

So probably Ernst Laube on the 1st photo (or other pilot from 7. /JG 26) and on the 2nd photo is probably Mietusch

Not bad Faenor. I agree.
Thanks.
