Re: Identification of ME109, North Africa

Hi,

the number was painted in yellow = yellow 4.
Each German fighter wing (Jagdgeschwader = JG) comprised of three groups (I,II,III./JG...) and each group had three squadrons (1,2,3= I./JG...; 4,5,6=II./JG...; 7,8,9=III./JG...) so your bird was from 9th sqadron of third group of JG53.

Regards

Robert
