Re: Bf 109 K-4 captured at Ainring "Wing of the Black Cross No. 4"

Hi David!

Thank you for the confirmation of my assumption.

mdj is not the code of the subcontractor of the tail. It's the code of the FMW (Flugzeug- und Metallbauwerke Wels). It was a repairplant at Wels (Austria). So this sign on the K-4 indicates that it was repaired at Wels.

Martin Handig wrote a nice article about that plant for the "ÖFH" (Austrian Aviation Historians).

Cheers,
