Hungarian Bf 109s
 

Sorting through Alfred Price's photos and came across this. Not Luftwaffe per se but someone might have the answer as to what, when and where?

Chris,

those are hungarian machines. Here is the caption I noted for this already published shot:
Bf 109 G-14 W.Nr. 511 221 "W1+43", 101/6 vadászszázad, Veszprém, late 1944. Source: Punka 2002, p. 72.

Precise source is György Punka, Hungarian Aces of World War 2, Osprey, 2002. The W.Nr. of "W1+143" is legible at the base of the tailplane.

Cheers
Marc

Thanks all. More haste less speed with the nationality! There must have been a number of these photos-this is an original one with no notes on the back as to where it came from

Re: Hungarian Bf 109s
 

I had access to the original negatives. I scanned both and published them in Hungarian Fighter Colours, vol. 2, as Michel (focusfocus) noted above.

Re: Hungarian Bf 109s
 

Mine is an original wartime print-where Alfred Price got it and others from such as the attached Romanian one, I wish he had noted on the back!

Re: Hungarian Bf 109s
 

This one is also known to me. A nice one!

By the way, Chris, any Bf 109G (or Dewoitine D.520) photos in Bulgarian colours, by chance?

Re: Hungarian Bf 109s
 

Denés. Thanks any details? I am working through 1000s of photos and if I do find anything, I will be in touch

Re: Hungarian Bf 109s
 

Here are sample photos of a Bf 109G and a D.520 in Bulgarian markings, for reference. I am looking for similar photos for my book, which will be published very soon (in about a month or two). Many thanks for your help!

Seen nothing like that so far
