Franck,

Wondering about III./JG 77 in Italy, sometimes in Summer/Fall 1943 ?

Cheers
Marc

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

It's a possibility but code number is too small and seller is selling a collection of machines shot at Schleswig-Jagel and Kassel (V1 Me163(?) and Me262 scrap yards)
But really too small for JG77, though.
Better for 2./NAGr.11 as noted in Axel Urbanke "Embleme AGr. unit".
So, can be Italy, yes, this I can agree.
Pity the guy who took so beautiful Me262 didn't do it for this one.


Regards,
Franck.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

The following request concerns the Ju 87D which first appeared on this site in two photographs of the derelict aircraft in company with Ju 88G 620 507. Page 355, 06.05.20. A nice earlier photo of this aircraft with the legible WNr. 412 211 appears on Roger Gaemperle's Vintage Eagles addenda website (for which see).

The question I raise concerns the Werknummer displayed on this airplane. The Vintage Eagle photo above shows the only Ju 87 in a 41x xxx series known to me. George Morrison, who has a broad knowledge of things Ju 87, also has only this single example of a 41x xxx machine.

Does any reader have further information or an explanation of the above Werknummer?

The code "8M" is more clearly visible in these photos.

Dear Steve,
Thanks as usual for all the informations you share with us.

To my understanding, and to the best of my knowledge, W.Nr. 413721 is an Erla built Bf 109 G-6, also found at Metz. I of course stand corrected.

Sincerely
Marc
