Re: Bf109 Loss 7 Sep. 40?

Steve,

Your diplomatic reply ignores a third possibility - that I have simply recorded the sub-type incorrectly. As you say, 5798 was an E-4/B manufactured by WNF. I don't know if it was subsequently modified for extended range or not but suspect that this would need to have been done at the factory rather than a field-mod. I note that Mason has it listed as an E-1 while Perry states E-7. My own notes are now amended to read E-4/B so between us one should be right.
