Re: Seeking factories tied to W.Nr. blocks for Bf 109E-4 and E-7
Hello Steve,

No, I don't have any data on WNr.2719, so I immediatly checked this loss on 15.05.41. You should check you source again for this loss because it's missing one number in the WNr.
The only loss that I./JG52 had on that day was

Bf109 F-2 WNr.12 719 2./JG52 Lt. Franz Bernhard (†), air combat with Blenheim - crashed, in the See near Texel, Pl.Qu.5412 - 100%

The stammkennzeichen of WNr.12 719 IMHO should be NI+ES, not NJ+ES, because Bf109F-2 WNr.12 723 was positivly identified according to a photo as having the stkz NI+EW.
The stkz of the early 27xx range Bf109Es could be SK+C* according to the photos showing Bf109Es exported to Romania (known WNr.2714 & 2733).

Regarding the 26xx batch - true, I also have a mixed bunch of E and D models. I've noticed that Emils are appearing more often after WNr.2657.

regards,
Tomislav
