Me 109 - ID possible?
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hello,


Out of a German Luftwaffe soldier veteran i have the following picture => it does show a fuselage of a wrecked Me 109. Can this plane and its former pilots fate be ID'ed by the cartoon on the side and the (yellow?) number 3?

All information is welcome and thanks in advance


Cordial greetings

Hi,

4./JG27 Bf109F. But I think there is also an overpainted bomb? symbol on the MTO band.

Regards

Robert

Hello,
not Bf 109 F, it's a G. Look at the fuel intake.
Btw, the sign is the Staffelabzeichen (Squadron sign).

Hello,


Thank you both gentlemen for adding this information and reply's. The veteran did also say that this picture was taken in Africa (Tunesia to be exact).


Cordial greetings,
