Re: Need history on 3 x Bf109E W.Nr.
Larry,
sorry, I misread ypir post taking it that you were not interesetd in markings etc.; so here we go again:
WNr. 816 belonged to 6./JG 26 at least since Mai 1939 and carried the "yellow 1"; it was piloted by Hptm. Herwig Knüppel on the day of its crash in which he was injured.
WNr. 1938 was test flown by Fritz Wendel at Augburg for the first time on November 23rd, 1938 and again early December and was then assigned to 6./JG 26 where I have it for the last time on November 23rd, 1939. Then there is a gap and it re-appears with JFS 5 where it came down owing to engine failure.
WNr. 6010 finally was another a/c of 6./JG 26 and was flown amongst others by Obgefr. Philipp in September 1939. Then no further enry until September 1942 when it was with ÜKdo. FRW Erla apparently for a major repair. The final stage was with JLG Galatz in 1943 where it crashed on July 5th.
Hope thus helps a bit more.
Cheers
Jochen
