Bf 109F W.Nr 9209 - 6./JG52!!!
 

Hello

I've have got a NII VVS report on Bf 109F-2 trials in 1942

In this report I see the following numbers

Engine

Nr DB-601N1 31399

Fuselage

Baumuster BF 109F-2
Baujahr 1941
Werk No 9209

Propeller

Sach Nr 9-11207 - 3078
W.Nr 26336
Hersteller DM/773


Also there are photos that show the plane and it has 6./JG52 batch and number 4+- as a kennung.
While the common oppinion is that the plane is from 8./JG51

Now I see it is not true

In Barbas book of II/JG52 there I hve found a confirmation about W.Nr. 9209 being 100% lost near Solnechnogorsk on 26.11.1941 due to the bad weather.

Also I have the photos of a plane in mild condition on the snow.

Photos from the report (note 6/JG52 badge)

And photos from Solnechnogorsk (nearby my cottage) November 1941

Here's the loss, which it sounds like you have?

Bf 109F-2, 9209, n.n., , II., 6., JG 52, , , PK+ZM, , 26-Nov-41, Bruchlandung in bad weather., WNr. 9206 per Prien, earlier lost by MÜTHERICH from JG 54., VIII.Fl.Korps/Eins.Osten, Gen.Qu.6.Abt. (mfm #4)-Vol.7; Prien, et al, Die Jagdfliegerverbände, VI.2, p.51; Fast, JG 52, IV, p.54, , Solnetschogorsk, 100%, F, , ,

Re: Bf 109F W.Nr 9209 - 6./JG52!!!
 

I have those contradicting entries:
WNr 9209, PK+ZM, Bf109F-2, 8./JG 51, Oblt A.Niss(!), 22.02.42 abgeschossen bei Tuschino, POW, captured USSR
with the possibility this might be
WNr 9692, SG+MF, Bf109F-2, schw 16 + |, 8./JG 51, StaFü Oblt Anton Nies(?), 22.02.42 Notlandung 100% nach Flaktreffer bei Tiefangriff, MIA bei Lukowojkowa, captured USSR
There are two other conflicting data in my list:
WNr 9206, PK+ZJ, Bf 109F-2, schw 10 + -, 5./JG 54, StaKap Hubert Mütherich+, 09.01.41 Bauchlandung 100%, Luftkampf mit MiG-3, Baumkollision nw Krasnoje-Selo
WNr 9206, PK+ZJ, Bf 109F-2, 6./JG 52, 26.11.41 Verlust 100%, Schlechtwetter bei Solnetschnogorsk

With 9206 of 26.11.41 actually being 9209 and 9209 of 22.02.42 actually being 9692 the puzzle pieces would fit neatly together...

Rigt. The puzzle is fit now.

As you see from the test report and attached photos from the same report 9209 belongs to 6./JG52

Now it is proved. 9209 (yellow 4) is a JG52 plane.

Also look at the wheel wells.
9209 has rounded wheel wells that match WNF maches after 6714

The picture of 8./JG51 plane captured in NII VVS has squared wheel wells
The explanation is easy.
I have another NII VVS report about JG51 plane and the number is 96xx (I can't remember now but I will send you scan on Friday - it is in my cottatge near the place where 9209 made a landing)

If you like I can scan more NII VVS info on 109s

Thanks, that would be very interesting!

Re: Bf 109F W.Nr 9209 - 6./JG52!!!
 

To make it more complicated: In the losslist for JG54 is stated:
Oblt. H.Mütherich, MIA, 41-09-09 Wrk.Nr. 9602 RL+IB SW10+
