Re: Mustang losses 31.08.44 in Romania/Hungary

" One of the .50 caliber projectiles of the Mustang penetrated Fönnekold’s heart. Nevertheless he landed his Bf 109 G-6 (WNr. 441931 "black 9") before succumbing to his injury."

I would speculate the ability of Fonnekold to land a Me 109 AFTER he took a 750 grain 50 caliber bullet through the heart approaches zero... It was most likely getting hit during his landing roll..
