It is also fascinating the way apparently used to label the two different "special" F-2s, that is with a number over the fuselage markings of Geschwader Kommodore (until another photo comes out, we must suppose that the F-2 with the wing MG FF 20mm was No. 2...).

Grazie Ferdinando,

I am doing some researches about Galland's 109 E and F types: right now these are the F-2 planes I suppose flown by Galland:

1- W.Nr. 6714 "<-+-" with 60 kill marks; standard armament.
2- W.Nr. 6750 "<-+-" with 69+15 kill marks; wing cannons. (4 dec 1941 cerimony).
3- W.Nr. unk "<-+-", MG 131s in the cowling, probably 69+15 kill marks like plane 2 (4 dec 1941 cerimony).
4- W.Nr. 6711 "<-1+-" with 94 kill marks; MG 131s in the cowling.
5- W.Nr.5776, "-+-" standard armament. probably no kill marks, crash landed on 21 June '41.
6- W.Nr. unk, "<-+-", MG 131s in the cowling but not plane 3 or 4.
7- W.Nr. unk, markings unk, MG 131s in the cowling but not plane 3, 4, 6
8- W.Nr 6713, no photos know, crash landed on 21 June '41.

Plane 6 and 8, or 7 and 8 could be the same plane.

So, as far as I know, Galland flew at least five different special 109F-2s, four with MG 131 cowling mounted and one with wing cannons.

Please may you add some details about the photo with wing cannon you quote?

Ciao,
Flavio
