Bf 110 Yellow 7, but which II. Gruppe?
 

Hi all
I have a dilema. I found this photo on Footnote...I think it is white 7 of some II. Gruppe. As it was lost in combat with US fighters early 1944, there were only two (?) units possible. ZG 26 and ZG 76. According to absence of white RVT band (maybe red one is present) I assume it is ZG 76 plane.
Anyone may confirm or tell more to the photo?
Thanks

II./ZG 1 cad 2n+ letters.
II./ZG 26 was Me410 unit in 43-44.
So, I think this is 6./ZG 76 machine.

AS stated, this is a shot of guncamera of P-47.

Hi Faenor

That is the same image, I just cropped it to make it smaller for the forum :) However there is another one at Footnote.com.
Anyone may know the date???

Hi Peter,

if you look on this film strip of guncamera on footnote.com, there looks like from 78th FG (you propably have book "Orli Duxfordu" by Garry L. Fry - for other, this is czech version of book The 78th Fighter Group in World War II - ISBN O-9625860-2-1 from Phalanx Publishing ) - look on the page 122 in czech version of this book.

30th March 1944- one flight from 82nd FS strafed boots on the Rhein river - this is propably this shoot :

30th March 1944 - one flight shoted down Do 217 over Twenthe/Enschede airfield ....I think, this is this "Do 217" - but this is only my speculation (look at the page 112 of czech version) - propably wrong determineted type of aircraft by US pilots .

In Alliend and Soviet Air force is topic US fighter´s victories over Bf 110/Do 217 between January and April 1944 and maybe some who is interesting in US fighter help us.

Thanks...I will check the book. I do not have it, because once I bought it, oe of my friend wanted it, so I sold it after reading. But he has it still.
I will check the 78.FG claims...
Thanks
