Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source

Thanks to Tomas Prusa, I'm able to present a new and very informative picture of Bf 109 G-6 "Schwarze 27" 2./JG 3, said to have been taken near Coremilles-en-Vexin after US take over in Summer 1944. This picture shows not only the fuselage but also the dismantled right wing stored nearby, and the tailplane propped up awkwardly against the rear fuselage.

Another picture of "Schwarze 27" is published in Prien and Rodeike 1995, p. 134. This new picture show it's not standing alone. We can see another half dismantled DB 605 lying in front of the plane's engine and a still crated BMW 801 on its left. The tall concrete pillar in the back speaks of an hangar which part of the metallic structure lies twisted in a heap on the ground, on the far left of the picture.

Collection Thomas Barnes.
