Re: Werner Molders Bf109 in Spain

If it's Molder's ( note victory bars on rudder) it would be Me.109D "6-79" with the name "LUCHS" ( lynx) on right cowling; his 3.Staffel had the famous Mickey Mouse insignia . He left Spain before they got E-models.
Michael Payne reckoned (probably) the Cs were numbered 46-50, the Ds from 51-86 and Es from 87 to around 136.I don't know whether that was ever confirmed though.
I think the dark rudder is just shadow (note the angle).
