Re: Erla Bf109E-3 Werk Nummer 1116
Peter,
unfortunately there is little more to be said about this a/c - like you said it was a pre-war production Bf 109 E-3 from the Erla factory. Although most of the surrounding WerkNr. are documented - many of them with multiple entries over the years -, 1115 and 1116 are blanks, most likely because they were lost before the loss returns - GQM and WASt. - began to include the WerkNr. on a regular basis as of August 1940, so that it is not possible to trace them now.
The unit allocation of the surroundng a/c doesn't offer any clues either - WerkNr. 1114 belonged to Stab II./JG 53 in September 1939, whereas WerkNr. 1117 was registered with II./ZG 141 before the outbreak of war.
I know it's precious little I have to offer; perhaps some other member of this board can shed some more light on this matter.
Kind regards
Jochen
